In xt_register_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc is called first, later
xt_replace_table is used. But in xt_replace_table, xt_jumpstack_alloc
will be used again. Then the memory allocated by previous xt_jumpstack_alloc
will be leaked. We can simply remove the previous xt_jumpstack_alloc because
there aren't any users of newinfo between xt_jumpstack_alloc and
xt_replace_table.
