The condition on CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_LABELS being removed by
this patch guards compilation of non-trivial implementations
of ctnetlink_dump_labels() and ctnetlink_label_size().

However, this is not necessary as each of these functions
will always return 0 if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_LABELS is not defined
as each function starts with the equivalent of:

	struct nf_conn_labels *labels = nf_ct_labels_find(ct);

	if (!labels)
		return 0;

And nf_ct_labels_find always returns NULL if CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_LABELS
is not enabled.  So I believe that the compiler optimises the code away
in such cases anyway.

Some advantages of this approach are:

1. Fewer #ifdefs, fewer headaches
2. The trivial implementations can be dropped
3. A follow-up patch, to conditionally compile ctnetlink_label_size
   only when it is used becomes simpler (see point 1)

Found by inspection.
Compile tested only.
