Subject: [Patch nf 3/3] xt_hashlimit: limit the max size of hashtable

The user-specified hashtable size is unbound, this could
easily lead to an OOM or a hung task as we hold the global
mutex while allocating and initializing the new hashtable.

The max value is derived from the max value when chosen by
the kernel.
