This cleans up other usages of of vmalloc in ebtables.c. The changes are similar to the cleanup done in ebtables-fix-allocation-in-net-bridge-netfilter-ebtablesc.patch Patch Description: This patch makes all the vmalloc calls in net/bridge/netfilter/ebtables.c follow the standard convention. Remove unnecessary casts, and use '*object' instead of 'type'.
