netfilter: Can't fail and free after table replacement
All xtables variants suffer from the defect that the copy_to_user() to copy the counters to user memory may fail after the table has already been exchanged and thus exposed. Return an error at this point will result in freeing the already exposed table. Any subsequent packet processing will result in a kernel panic. We can't copy the counters before exposing the new tables as we want provide the counter state after the old table has been unhooked. Therefore convert this into a silent error.
