netfilter: conntrack: fix possible bug_on with enable_hooks=1

I received a bug report (no reproducer so far) where we trip over

712         rcu_read_lock();
713         ct_hook = rcu_dereference(nf_ct_hook);
714         BUG_ON(ct_hook == NULL);  // here

In nf_conntrack_destroy().

First turn this BUG_ON into a WARN.  I think it was triggered
via enable_hooks=1 flag.

When this flag is turned on, the conntrack hooks are registered
before nf_ct_hook pointer gets assigned.
This opens a short window where packets enter the conntrack machinery,
can have skb->_nfct set up and a subsequent kfree_skb might occur
before nf_ct_hook is set.

Call nf_conntrack_init_end() to set nf_ct_hook before we register the
pernet ops.
