[NETFILTER]: conntrack: fix race condition in early_drop
On SMP environments the maximum number of conntracks can be overpassed
under heavy stress situations due to an existing race condition.
CPU A CPU B
atomic_read() ...
early_drop() ...
... atomic_read()
allocate conntrack allocate conntrack
atomic_inc() atomic_inc()
This patch moves the counter incrementation before the early drop stage.
