[NETFILTER]: Don't increase master refcount on expectations

As it's been discussed [1][2]. We shouldn't increase the master conntrack
refcount for non-fulfilled conntracks. During the conntrack destruction,
the expectations are always killed before the conntrack itself, this
guarantees that there won't be any orphan expectation.
