[NETFILTER] CLUSTERIP: introduce reference counting for entries

The CLUSTERIP target creates a procfs entry for all different cluster
IPs.  Although more than one rules can refer to a single cluster IP (and
thus a single config structure), removal of the procfs entry is done
unconditionally in destroy(). In more complicated situations involving
deferred dereferencing of the config structure by procfs and creating a
new rule with the same cluster IP it's also possible that no entry will
be created for the new rule.

This patch fixes the problem by counting the number of entries
referencing a given config structure and moving the config list
manipulation and procfs entry deletion parts to the
clusterip_config_entry_put() function.
