netfilter: x_table: speedup compat operations
One iptables invocation with 135000 rules takes 35 seconds of cpu time
on a recent server, using a 32bit distro and a 64bit kernel.
We eventually trigger NMI/RCU watchdog.
INFO: rcu_sched_state detected stall on CPU 3 (t=6000 jiffies)
COMPAT mode has quadratic behavior and consume 16 bytes of memory per
rule.
Switch the xt_compat algos to use an array instead of list, and use a
binary search to locate an offset in the sorted array.
This halves memory need (8 bytes per rule), and removes quadratic
behavior [ O(N*N) -> O(N*log2(N)) ]
Time of iptables goes from 35 s to 150 ms.
