Subject: netfilter 17/31: xtables: use memcmp in unconditional check

    netfilter: xtables: use memcmp in unconditional check
    
    Instead of inspecting each u32/char open-coded, clean up and make use
    of memcmp. On some arches, memcmp is implemented as assembly or GCC's
    __builtin_memcmp which can possibly take advantages of known
    alignment.
