Do you think it is safe to use nf_reset() directly?
If you do not know, you probably should not be making these changes at all :-)
There is zero reason for your protocol layer to have an ad-hoc private SKB netfilter state reset function that touches internals in this way.
At least with the generic helpers, we know the side effects and the function is well known to other developers.
