Use counter(9) in pf tables.

Counters of pf tables are updated out of rule lock. That means state updates
might overwrite eachother. Furthermore there is allocation and freing counters
happening in lockless manner too.

Proposed patch modifies table counters behaviour. counter(9) facility is used
and table element counters are always allocated so that race conditions are
impossible now.
