From: He Zhe <zhe.he at windriver.com>

In the v4.18 kernel, there is a problem with the locking and init sequence of
the kernel modules. This would cause nf_conntrack_ipv6 failed to be loaded.

In kernel v4.19, nf_conntrack_ipv6 has been merged to nf_conntrack and the
problematic code has gone. This patch just works around by forcedly loading
nf_conntrack_ipv6.
