    netfilter: xt_recent: fix buffer overflow
    
    e->index overflows e->stamps[] every ip_pkt_list_tot packets.
    
    Consider the case when ip_pkt_list_tot==1; the first packet received is stored
    in e->stamps[0] and e->index is initialized to 1. The next received packet
    timestamp is then stored at e->stamps[1] in recent_entry_update(),
    a buffer overflow because the maximum e->stamps[] index is 0.
