Subject: [PATCH 6/7] net: bpfilter: dont use module_init in non-modular code

The Kconfig controlling this code is:

bpfilter/Kconfig:menuconfig BPFILTER
bpfilter/Kconfig:   bool "BPF based packet filtering framework (BPFILTER)"

Since it isn't a module, we shouldn't use module_init().  Instead we
use device_initcall() - which is exactly what module_init() defaults
to for non-modular code/builds.

We don't remove <linux/module.h> from the includes since this file does
a request_module() and hence is a valid user of that header file, even
though it is not modular itself.
