The commit ce49480dba86 ("netfilter: xt_connlimit: don't store address in the conn
nodes)" made the 'addr' parameter in add_hlist() unused.  So remove it
with a SAUCE patch, to simplify the backport of the next patches, as it is removed
anyway in upstream later (but before the next patches) through commit 625c556118f3
("netfilter: connlimit: split xt_connlimit into front and backend"), in the rename
from 'xt_connlimit.c' to 'nf_conncount.c', which is a large refactor we don't need.

Not sure this really would make things clearer but what would you think about
changing your description section to this:

In commit ce49480dba86 ("netfilter: xt_connlimit: don't store address in the
conn nodes)" the actual use of the addr argument in add_hlist() got dropped,
but it was still passed as an argument. This was done as part of a bigger
modification through commit 625c556118f3 ("netfilter: connlimit: split
xt_connlimit into front and backend").
For upstream stable 4.14.y, this was merged into the backport of ce49480dba86
but this is already in Bionic/4.15. So we do this as a separate SAUCE patch.

Yes, that's clearer, thanks.
Please let me know if you'd like me to send a v2 for that change.

cheers,
