This patch fixes the crash when registering the hashlimit extension with xtables during init_extensions(when built with static libs) . The option validation function xtables_option_metavalidate has a loop termination condition of the entry name being NULL. The loop does not terminate when validating hashlimit_mt_opts_v2 which causes a crash on derefencing an invalid entry.
