netfilter: ebtables: Fix extension lookup with identical name
If a requested extension exists as module and is not loaded, ebt_check_match() might accidentally use an NFPROTO_UNSPEC one with same name and fail. Reproduced with limit match: Given xt_limit and ebt_limit both built as module, the following would fail: modprobe xt_limit ebtables -I INPUT --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT The fix is to make ebt_check_match() distrust a found NFPROTO_UNSPEC extension and retry after requesting an appropriate module.
