netfilter: xt_recent: fix stack overread in compat code

Related-to: commit 325fb5b4d26038cba665dd0d8ee09555321061f0

The compat path suffers from a similar problem. It only uses a __be32
when all of the recent code uses, and expects, an nf_inet_addr
everywhere. As a result, addresses stored by xt_recents were
filled with whatever other stuff was on the stack following the be32.

With a minor compile fix from Roman.
