Commit fdacd57c79b7 ("netfilter: x_tables: never register tables by default") introduces the function xt_register_template(), and in one case, a call to that function was missing the error-case handling. Handle when xt_register_template() returns an error value. This was identified with the clang-analyzer's Dead-Store analysis.
