Subject: [PATCH] ipmroute: Prevent overlapping storage of `filter` global

This variable has the same name as `struct xfrm_filter filter` in
ip/ipxfrm.c, but overrides that definition since `struct rtfilter`
is larger.

This is visible when built with -Wl,--warn-common in LDFLAGS:

	/usr/bin/ld: ipxfrm.o: warning: common of `filter' overridden by larger common from ipmroute.o

I'm not sure if this causes any problems in practice, but it seems
unintended.
