[NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernels

Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null
ub-&gt;skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on
one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the
queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits,
there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls
ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because
it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU.

Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.

The prefix argument for nf_log_packet is a format specifier,
so don't pass the user defined string directly to it.

Allocate an array of 'struct ebt_chainstack *', the current code allocates
array of 'struct ebt_chainstack'.

akpm: converted to use the

	foo = alloc(sizeof(*foo))

form.  Which would have prevented this from happening in the first place.

akpm: also removed unneeded typecast.

akpm: what on earth is this code doing anyway?  cpu_possible_map can be
sparse..

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under /net

Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and
`fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function.

Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes
ctags rather useless.

So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and
$(filename)_fini.

The nfnetlink_log infrastructure changes broke compatiblity of the LOG
targets. They currently use whatever log backend was registered first,
which means that if ipt_ULOG was loaded first, no messages will be printed
to the ring buffer anymore.

Restore compatiblity by using the old log functions by default and only use
the nf_log backend if the user explicitly said so.
