Typical table module registers xt_table structure (i.e. packet_filter)
and link it to list during it. We can't use one template for it because
corresponding list_head will become corrupted. We also can't unregister
with template because it wasn't changed at all and thus doesn't know in
which list it is.

So, we duplicate template at the very first step of table registration.
Table modules will save it for use during unregistration time and actual
filtering.

Do it at once to not screw bisection.

Applied, thanks.

P.S.: renaming i.e. packet_filter => __packet_filter is temporary until
      full netnsization of table modules is done.

It seems this could have been avoided by ordering the patches
differently (I probably would also have done 4/5 as 1/5).
