netfilter: xt_connlimit: connlimit-above early loop termination

Browse source 
The patch below introduces an early termination of the loop that is
counting matches. It terminates once the counter has exceeded the
threshold provided by the user. There's no point in continuing the loop
afterwards and looking at other entries.

It plays together with the following code further below:

return (connections > info->limit) ^ info->inverse;

where connections is the result of the counted connection, which in turn
is the matches variable in the loop. So once

        -> matches = info->limit + 1
alias   -> matches > info->limit
alias   -> matches > threshold

we can terminate the loop.
