netfilter: conntrack: fix NF_REPEAT handling

Browse source 
gcc correctly identified a theoretical uninitialized variable use:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: In function 'nf_conntrack_in':
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:1125:14: error: 'l4proto' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This could only happen when we 'goto out' before looking up l4proto,
and then enter the retry, implying that l3proto->get_l4proto()
returned NF_REPEAT. This does not currently get returned in any
code path and probably won't ever happen, but is not good to
rely on.

Moving the repeat handling up a little should have the same
behavior as today but avoids the warning by making that case
impossible to enter.

[ I have mangled this original patch to remove the check for tmpl, we
  should inconditionally jump back to the repeat label in case we hit
  NF_REPEAT instead. I have also moved the comment that explains this
  where it belongs. --pablo ]
