Hi Hangbin,

As modprobe should be idempotent both for the case were nf_conntrack is
built-in (I'm unsure if that case can ever occur) and the module has
already been inserted, I think you simply use:

modprobe nf_conntrack

Of course, if nf_conntrack isn't available at all, then this will fail.
But that was the case with your patch too. And so I assume it is intended.
