Subject: netfilter: xtables: stackptr should be percpu

commit f3c5c1bfd4 (netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant)
introduced a performance regression, because stackptr array is shared by
all cpus, adding cache line ping pongs. (16 cpus share a 64 bytes cache
line)

Fix this using alloc_percpu()
