netfilter: ipt_LOG: add bufferisation to call printk() once
ipt_LOG & ip6t_LOG use lot of calls to printk() and use a lock in a hope several cpus wont mix their output in syslog. printk() being very expensive [1], its better to call it once, on a prebuilt and complete line. Also, with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 trafic, separate IPv4/IPv6 locks dont avoid garbage. I used an allocation of a 1024 bytes structure, sort of seq_printf() but with a fixed size limit. Use a static buffer if dynamic allocation failed. Emit a once time alert if buffer size happens to be too short. [1]: printk() has various features like printk_delay()...
