ipt_LOG & ip6t_LOG use lot of calls to printk() and use a lock in a hope
several cpus wont mix their output in syslog.

printk() being very expensive [1], its better to call it once, on a
prebuilt and complete line. Also, with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 trafic,
separate IPv4/IPv6 locks dont avoid garbage.

I used an allocation of a 1024 bytes structure, sort of seq_printf() but
with a fixed size limit.
Use a static buffer if dynamic allocation failed.

Emit a once time alert if buffer size happens to be too short.

[1]: printk() has various features like printk_delay()...
