Subject: [PATCH 25/29] netfilter: nf_conntrack: ensure that CONNTRACK_LOCKS is power of 2

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@...du.com>

CONNTRACK_LOCKS is divisor when computer array index, if it is power of
2, compiler will optimize modulo operation as bitwise AND, or else
modulo will lower performance.
