Subject: [PATCH]  netfilter: use per-CPU recursive lock {XIV}

In days of old in 2.6.29, netfilter did locketh using a 
lock of the reader kind when doing its table business, and do
a writer when with pen in hand like a overworked accountant
did replace the tables. This sucketh and caused the single
lock to fly back and forth like a poor errant boy.

But then netfilter was blessed with RCU and the performance
was divine, but alas there were those that suffered for
trying to replace their many rules one at a time.

So now RCU must be vanquished from the scene, and better
chastity belts be placed upon this valuable asset most dear.
The locks that were but one are now replaced by one per suitor.

The repair was made after much discussion involving
Eric the wise, and Linus the foul. With flowers springing
up amid the thorns some peace has finally prevailed and
all is soothed. This patch and purple prose was penned by
in honor of "Talk like Shakespeare" day.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@...tta.com>

---
What hath changed over the last two setting suns:
  * more words, mostly correct...

  * no need to locketh for writeh on current cpu tis 
    always so

  * the locking of all cpu's on replace is always done as
    part of the get_counters cycle, so the sychronize swip
    in replace tables is gone with only a comment remaing
