Hi,

Ingo is right, this patch is problematic because of the xt_socket code.
The nf_conntrack is not necessary for xt_socket, but it can use 
connection tracking.

The only problematic use case is what Ingo found:

  CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m
  CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET=y

The following patch solves it , I'll send it soon in a single letter:

diff --git a/net/netfilter/Kconfig b/net/netfilter/Kconfig
index 881203c..cb3ad74 100644
--- a/net/netfilter/Kconfig
+++ b/net/netfilter/Kconfig
@@ -837,6 +837,7 @@ config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET
         depends on NETFILTER_TPROXY
         depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
         depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
+       depends on !NF_CONNTRACK || NF_CONNTRACK
         select NF_DEFRAG_IPV4
         help
           This option adds a `socket' match, which can be used to match
