netfilter: conntrack: fix race in __nf_conntrack_confirm against get_next_corpse
After removal of the central spinlock nf_conntrack_lock, in
commit 93bb0ceb75be2 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove central
spinlock nf_conntrack_lock"), it is possible to race against
get_next_corpse().
The race is against the get_next_corpse() cleanup on
the "unconfirmed" list (a per-cpu list with seperate locking),
which set the DYING bit.
Fix this race, in __nf_conntrack_confirm(), by removing the CT
from unconfirmed list before checking the DYING bit. In case
race occured, re-add the CT to the dying list.
While at this, fix coding style of the comment that has been
updated.
