[PATCH v1 1/4] netfilter: Split ipt_unregister_table() into pre_exit and exit helpers.

[David Wilder]

The pre_exit will un-register the underlying hook and .exit will do the
table freeing. The netns core does an unconditional synchronize_rcu after
the pre_exit hooks insuring no packets are in flight that have picked up
the pointer before completing the un-register.
