Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: fix two recent sysctl problems

netfilter: fix two recent sysctl problems

Starting with 9043476f726802f4b00c96d0c4f418dde48d1304 we have two
netfilter releated problems:

 - WARNING: at kernel/sysctl.c:1966 unregister_sysctl_table+0xcc/0x103(),
   caused by wrong order of ini/fini calls

 - net.netfilter is duplicated and has truncated set of records

Thanks to very useful guidelines from Al Viro, this patch fixes both of them.
