netfilter: x_tables: remove XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ and a dereference.
After Florian patches, there is no need for XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ anymore : Only one copy of table is kept, instead of one copy per cpu. We also can avoid a dereference if we put table data right after xt_table_info. It reduces register pressure and helps compiler. Then, we attempt a kmalloc() if total size is under order-3 allocation, to reduce TLB pressure, as in many cases, rules fit in 32 KB.
