From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Really cap it to NF_CT_EXPECT_MAX_CNT (255) on updates.
The commit ("netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: cap to maximum number of
expectation per master") only covers creation of helpers, not updates.
Fixes: 397c8300972f ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: cap maximum number of expectation at helper registration")
