netfilter: unlock xt_table earlier in __do_replace
Now it's doing cleanup_entry for oldinfo under the xt_table lock, but it's not really necessary. After the replacement job is done in xt_replace_table, oldinfo is not used elsewhere any more, and it can be freed without xt_table lock safely. The important thing is that rtnl_lock is called in some xt_target destroy, which means rtnl_lock, a big lock is used in xt_table lock, a smaller one. It usually could be the reason why a dead lock may happen. Besides, all xt_target/match checkentry is called out of xt_table lock. It's better also to move all cleanup_entry calling out of xt_table lock, just as do_replace_finish does for ebtables.
