netfilter: conntrack: remove __nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy

Its not needed anymore:

A. If entry is totally new, then the rcu-protected resource
must already have been removed from global visibility before call
to nf_ct_iterate_destroy.

B. If entry was allocated before, but is not yet in the hash table
   (uncofirmed case), genid gets incremented and synchronize_rcu() call
   makes sure access has completed.

C. Next attempt to peek at extension area will fail for unconfirmed
  conntracks, because ext->genid != genid.

D. Conntracks in the hash are iterated as before.
