Subject: [PATCH] kmod-setup: load ip_tables kmod at boot

The module is currently no auto-loadable (and this is unlikely to change

anytime soon, given it's API is via getsockopt/setsockopt). It is needed

by networkd and nspawn currently.

Users who really don't like the module to be loaded have the option to

blacklist it still, or not compile it at all. But for all others this

should make things work out-of-the-box.

(cherry picked from commit 1d3087978a8ee23107cb64aa55ca97aefe9531e2)
