nf_ct_put() results in a usesless indirection: nf_ct_put -> nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> rcu readlock + indirect call of ct_hooks->destroy(). There are two _put helpers: nf_ct_put and nf_conntrack_put. The latter is what should be used in code that MUST NOT cause a linker dependency on the conntrack module (e.g. calls from core network stack). Everyone else should call nf_ct_put() instead. A followup patch will convert a few nf_conntrack_put() calls to nf_ct_put(), in particular from modules that already have a conntrack dependency such as act_ct or even nf_conntrack itself.
