Either use if (nat->range_info.min_proto.all || ...

or use ntohs().  I will leave it up to you if you prefer
ntohs(nat->range_info.min_proto.all) == 0 or
nat->range_info.min_proto.all == ntohs(0).

(Use of htons here will trigger endian warnings from sparse tool).

A small comment that explains why nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple() is
called conditionally would be good.

I don't understand this new logic, can you explain?

Old:

for (port = expr>tuple.port ; port > 0 ;port++)
    nf_ct_expect_related(exp, 0);
    if (success || fatal_error)
	 break;

New:
port = exp->tuple.port;
if (port && min <= port && port <= max) // in which case is port 0 here?
	ret = nf_ct_expect_related();

if (fatal_error || port == 0)	// how can port be 0?
    if (!dir) {
	    nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple();
            ret = nf_ct_expect_related();
    }
}

How can this work?  This removes the loop and relies on
nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple(), but NF_NAT_MANIP_DST doesn't support
port rewrite in !NF_NAT_RANGE_PROTO_SPECIFIED case.

Plus, it restricts nf_nat_l4proto_unique_tuple to !dir case, which
I don't understand either.

+	if (ret != 0 || port == 0) {
How can port be 0?  In the old code, it becomes 0 if all attempts
to find unused port failed, but after the rewrite I don't see how it can
happen.

!expr->dir means REPLY, i.e. new connection is reversed compared
to the master connection (from responder back to initiator).

So, why are we munging range in this case?

I would have expected exp->dir == IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL for your use case
(original connection subject to masquerade and source ports mangled to
 fall into special range, so related conntion should also be mangled
 to match said range).
