Subject: order 7 allocations from xt_recent

We had a report from a user that shows this code trying
to do enormous allocations, which isn't going to work too well..

iptables: page allocation failure: order:7, mode:0xc0d0
Pid: 2822, comm: iptables Not tainted 3.6.10-2.fc17.x86_64 #1

which looks like it's this..

        t = kzalloc(sizeof(*t) + sizeof(t->iphash[0]) * ip_list_hash_size,
                    GFP_KERNEL);

Which is initialised thus..

        ip_list_hash_size = 1 << fls(ip_list_tot);

And ip_list_tot is 10000 in this case. Hmm ?
