netfilter: ipt_recent: fix race between recent_mt_destroy and proc manipulations

The thing is that recent_mt_destroy first flushes the entries
from table with the recent_table_flush and only *after* this
removes the proc file, corresponding to that table.

Thus, if we manage to write to this file the '+XXX' command we
will leak some entries. If we manage to write there a 'clean'
command we'll race in two recent_table_flush flows, since the
recent_mt_destroy calls this outside the recent_lock.

The proper solution as I see it is to remove the proc file first
and then go on with flushing the table. This flushing becomes
safe w/o the lock, since the table is already inaccessible from
the outside.
