Replace existing reader/writer lock with Read-Copy-Update to elminate the overhead of a read lock on each incoming packet. This should reduce the overhead of iptables especially on SMP systems. The previous code used a reader-writer lock for two purposes. The first was to ensure that the xt_table_info reference was not in process of being changed. Since xt_table_info is only freed via one routine, it was a direct conversion to RCU. The other use of the reader-writer lock was to to block changes to counters while they were being read. This synchronization was fixed by the previous patch. But still need to make sure table info isn't going away.
