[NETFILTER]: ulog: fix panic on SMP kernels

Fix kernel panic on various SMP machines. The culprit is a null
ub->skb in ulog_send(). If ulog_timer() has already been scheduled on
one CPU and is spinning on the lock, and ipt_ulog_packet() flushes the
queue on another CPU by calling ulog_send() right before it exits,
there will be no skbuff when ulog_timer() acquires the lock and calls
ulog_send(). Cancelling the timer in ulog_send() doesn't help because
it has already been scheduled and is running on the first CPU.

Similar problem exists in ebt_ulog.c and nfnetlink_log.c.
