Subject: iptables: 

This is an alternative version of ip/ip6/arp tables locking using
per-cpu locks.  This avoids the overhead of synchronize_net() during
update but still removes the expensive rwlock in earlier versions.

The idea for this came from an earlier version done by Eric Duzamet.
Locking is done per-cpu, the fast path locks on the current cpu
and updates counters.  The slow case involves acquiring the locks on
all cpu's.

The mutex that was added for 2.6.30 in xt_table is unnecessary since
there already is a mutex for xt[af].mutex that is held.
