netfilter: nf_ct_h323: do not re-activate already expired timer

Commit 96d1327ac2e3 ("netfilter: h323: Use mod_timer instead of
set_expect_timeout") just simplify the source codes
    if (!del_timer(&exp->timeout))
        return 0;
    add_timer(&exp->timeout);
to mod_timer(&exp->timeout, jiffies + info->timeout * HZ);

This is not correct, and introduce a race codition:
    CPU0                     CPU1
     -                     timer expire
  process_rcf              expectation_timed_out
  lock(exp_lock)              -
  find_exp                 waiting exp_lock...
  re-activate timer!!      waiting exp_lock...
  unlock(exp_lock)         lock(exp_lock)
     -                     unlink expect
     -                     free(expect)
     -                     unlock(exp_lock)
So when the timer expires again, we will access the memory that
was already freed.

Replace mod_timer with mod_timer_pending here to fix this problem.
