Stephen Hemminger 942e4a2bd6 netfilter: revised locking for x_tables
The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer 
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.

This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.
