Add a new function to insert a pair of expectations, this is required by
the SIP and H323 NAT helpers. The spinlock is held to check if there is
a slot for both expectations, in such case, insert them.
This removes the need for nf_ct_unexpect_related() inside the loop to
find a pair of consecutive ports, otherwise inserting expectations whose
dead flag is already set on can happen.
Bump master_help->expecting for the expectation class after checking if
the expectation fits in the master expectation list, which is needed for
this new _pair() function variant to run the eviction routine including
the preallocated slot for the first expectation in the pair.
