Subject: [PATCH] xt_recent: Fix buffer overflow

e->index overflows e->stamps[] every ip_pkt_list_tot
packets.

Consider the case when ip_pkt_list_tot==1; the first packet received is stored
in e->stamps[0] and e->index is initialized to 1. The next received packet
timestamp is then stored at e->stamps[1] in recent_entry_update(),
a buffer overflow because the maximum e->stamps[] index is 0.
