Eric Dumazet 83723d6071 netfilter: x_tables: dont block BH while reading counters
Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules have a too big BH latency.
Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops.

Switch to a per_cpu seqlock scheme, so that taking a snapshot of
counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus).

This adds two increments on seqlock sequence per ipt_do_table() call,
its a reasonable cost for allowing "iptables -L" not block BH
processing.
