[NETFILTER]: {ip,ip6,arp}_tables: fix exponential worst-case search for loops
If we come to node we'd already marked as seen and it's not a part of path
(i.e. we don't have a loop right there), we already know that it isn't a
part of any loop, so we don't need to revisit it.
That speeds the things up if some chain is refered to from several places
and kills O(exp(table size)) worst-case behaviour (without sleeping,
at that, so if you manage to self-LART that way, you are SOL for a long
time)...
