A WARN_ON call trace would be triggered when 'ct(commit, alg=helper)'
applies on a confirmed connection:

The issue was introduced by commit
248d45f1e193 ("openvswitch: Allow
attaching helper in later commit") where it somehow removed the check
of nf_ct_is_confirmed before asigning the helper. This patch is to fix
it by bringing it back.
