[NETFILTER 01/02]: nf_conntrack_ipv4: fix "Frag of proto ..." messages
[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_ipv4: fix "Frag of proto ..." messages

Since we're now using a generic tuple decoding function in ICMP
connection tracking, ipv4_get_l4proto() might get called with a
fragmented packet from within an ICMP error. Remove the error
message we used to print when this happens.
