netfilter: nf_iterate: fix incorrect RCU usage
As noticed by Eric, nf_iterate doesn't use RCU correctly by accessing the prev pointer of a RCU protected list element when a verdict of NF_REPEAT is issued. Fix by jumping backwards to the hook invocation directly instead of loading the previous list element before continuing the list iteration.
