Argh, there are many small but still wrong things with /proc/net/*_tables_*
so I decided to do overhaul simultaneously making it more suitable for
per-netns /proc/net/*_tables_* implementation.
Fix
a) xt_get_idx() duplicating now standard seq_list_start/seq_list_next
iterators
b) tables/matches/targets list was chosen again and again on every ->next
c) multiple useless "af >= NPROTO" checks -- we simple don't supply invalid
AFs there and registration function should BUG_ON instead.
Regardless, the one in ->next() is the most useless -- ->next doesn't
run at all if ->start fails.
d) Don't use mutex_lock_interruptible() -- it can fail and ->stop is
executed even if ->start failed, so unlock without lock is possible.
As side effect, streamline code by splitting xt_tgt_ops into xt_target_ops,
xt_matches_ops, xt_tables_ops.
xt_tables_ops hooks will be changed by per-netns code. Code of
xt_matches_ops, xt_target_ops is identical except the list chosen for
iterating, but I think consolidating code for two files not worth it
given "<< 16" hacks needed for it.

Applied, and I also removed the now unused TABLE/TARGET/MATCH enum.
