netfilter: x_tables: suppress kmemcheck warning

Markus Trippelsdorf reports:

This warning is harmless; we copy 'uninitialized' data from the hook ops
but it will not be used.
Long term the structures keeping run-time data should be disentangled
from those only containing config-time data (such as where in the list
to insert a hook), but thats -next material.
