From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
(c7232c9 netfilter: add protocol independent NAT core) introduced a
problem that leads to crashing during boot due to NULL pointer
dereference. It seems that xt_nat calls xt_register_target() before
xt_init():
net/netfilter/x_tables.c:static struct xt_af *xt; is NULL and we crash on
xt_register_target(struct xt_target *target)
{
u_int8_t af = target->family;
int ret;
ret = mutex_lock_interruptible(&xt[af].mutex);
...
Fix this by changing the linking order, to make sure that x_tables
comes before xt_nat.
