netfilter: x_tables: suppress kmemcheck warning
Markus Trippelsdorf reports: WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 64-bit read from uninitialized memory (ffff88001e605480) 4055601e0088ffff000000000000000090686d81ffffffff0000000000000000 u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u i i i i i i i i u u u u u u u u ^ |RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8166e561>] [<ffffffff8166e561>] nf_register_net_hook+0x51/0x160 [..] [<ffffffff8166e561>] nf_register_net_hook+0x51/0x160 [<ffffffff8166eaaf>] nf_register_net_hooks+0x3f/0xa0 [<ffffffff816d6715>] ipt_register_table+0xe5/0x110 [..] This warning is harmless; we copy 'uninitialized' data from the hook ops but it will not be used. Long term the structures keeping run-time data should be disentangled from those only containing config-time data (such as where in the list to insert a hook), but thats -next material.
