    netfilter: x_tables: fix percpu counter block leak on error path when creating new netns
    
    [ Upstream commit 0af8c09c896810879387decfba8c942994bb61f5 ]
    
    Here is the stack where we allocate percpu counter block:
    
      +-< __alloc_percpu
        +-< xt_percpu_counter_alloc
          +-< find_check_entry # {arp,ip,ip6}_tables.c
            +-< translate_table
    
    And it can be leaked on this code path:
    
      +-> ip6t_register_table
        +-> translate_table # allocates percpu counter block
        +-> xt_register_table # fails
    
    there is no freeing of the counter block on xt_register_table fail.
    Note: xt_percpu_counter_free should be called to free it like we do in
    do_replace through cleanup_entry helper (or in __ip6t_unregister_table).
    
    Probability of hitting this error path is low AFAICS (xt_register_table
    can only return ENOMEM here, as it is not replacing anything, as we are
    creating new netns, and it is hard to imagine that all previous
    allocations succeeded and after that one in xt_register_table failed).
    But it's worth fixing even the rare leak.
