Subject[PATCH] netfilter: xtables: Add helper macro for xt_match boilerplate
For simple modules that contain a single xt_match without any
additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated
boilerplate. This patch adds a new macro, module_xt_match(),
which replaces the module_init()/module_exit() registrations with
template functions.
