netfilter: xtables: avoid pointer to self

Browse source

Commit 784544739a (netfilter: iptables:
lock free counters) broke a number of modules whose rule data referenced
itself. A reallocation would not reestablish the correct references, so
it is best to use a separate struct that does not fall under RCU.
