Fix lookup of existing match/target structures in the corresponding list by skipping the family check if NFPROTO_UNSPEC is used. This is resulting in the allocation and insertion of one match/target structure for each use of them. So this not only bloats memory consumption but also severely affects the time to reload the ruleset from the iptables-compat utility. After this patch, iptables-compat-restore and iptables-compat take almost the same time to reload large rulesets.
