Logic for SNAT persistent handling introduced in 2.6.30 is inverted

Kernel 2.6.30 introduced a patch [1] for the persistent option in the
netfilter SNAT target. This is exactly what we need here so I had a quick look
at the code and noticed that the patch is wrong. The logic is simply inverted.
The patch below fixes this.
Also note that because of this the default behavior of the SNAT target has
changed since kernel 2.6.30 as it now ignores the destination IP in choosing
the source IP for nating (which should only be the case if the persistent
option is set).
