When memory is exhausted, nfct_seqadj_ext_add may fail to add the seqadj
extension. But the function nf_ct_seqadj_init doesn't check if get valid
seqadj pointer by the nfct_seqadj, while other functions perform the
sanity check.

So the system would be panic when nfct_seqadj_ext_add failed.

Not sure this WARN() is really needed, I would remove it (since its most
likely only missing due to memory shortage).

Other than that, this looks good.

I prefer to keep the warning, although it only happens caused by mem
shortage now.
But it would give the accurate description, if the nfct_seqadj_ext_add
was lost when new features were depending on synadj.
