There is a bug here in that the control connection should still be created even though it is likely an unused control connection. The following incremental fixes it.

This is similar to kernels before 4.7 as well. The recommended default behavior in the newer kernels is to only process algs if a helper is supplied in a conntrack rule. The behavior is changed to match the later kernels.
