Subject: [NETFILTER]: Fix memory leak in ipt_recent

[NETFILTER]: Fix memory leak in ipt_recent

The Coverity checker spotted that we may leak 'hold' in
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_recent.c::checkentry() when the following
is true:
  if (!curr_table->status_proc) {
    ...
    if(!curr_table) {
    ...
      return 0;  <-- here we leak.
Simply moving an existing vfree(hold); up a bit avoids the possible leak.
