netfilter: xt_hashlimit: fix proc entry leak in netns destroy path

    netfilter: xt_hashlimit: fix namespace destroy path

Takes into account fact, that hashlimit_net_exit() called right before
hashlimit_mt_destroy() and fixes destroy path for netns.

However using xt_hashlimit for IPv4 and IPv6 together produces following 
output
on netconsole from one of our servers on netns destroy:

 WARNING: at 
/usr/src/linux-3.2.52/debian/build/source_netctl/fs/proc/generic.c:849
 remove_proc_entry+0x217/0x22e()
 Hardware name:
 remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'net/ip6t_hashlimit', leaking
at least 'IN-REJECT'

This is due to lack of removal net/ip6t_hashlimit/* entries in
hashlimit_proc_net_exit().

Found and tested with custom build 3.2.x and backported commits
32263dd1b (netfilter: xt_hashlimit: fix namespace destroy path) and
commit 665e205c1 (netfilter: xt_recent: fix namespace destroy path),
which seems not currently in linux-stable (at least for 3.2.x series).
