Pablo Neira Ayuso 5251e2d212 [NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix race condition in early_drop
On SMP environments the maximum number of conntracks can be overpassed
under heavy stress situations due to an existing race condition.

        CPU A                   CPU B
     atomic_read()               ...
     early_drop()                ...
        ...                  atomic_read()
   allocate conntrack      allocate conntrack
     atomic_inc()             atomic_inc()

This patch moves the counter incrementation before the early drop stage.
