after previous commit xt_replace_table will wait until all cpus had even seqcount (i.e., no cpu is accessing old ruleset). Add a 'old' counter retrival version that doesn't synchronize counters. Its not needed, the old counters are not in use anymore at this point. This speeds up table replacement on busy systems with large tables (and many cores).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
