Subject: netfilter: x_tables: kill check_entry helper

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

commit aa412ba225dd3bc36d404c28cdc3d674850d80d0 upstream.

Once we add more sanity testing to xt_check_entry_offsets it
becomes relvant if we're expecting a 32bit 'config_compat' blob
or a normal one.

Since we already have a lot of similar-named functions (check_entry,
compat_check_entry, find_and_check_entry, etc.) and the current
incarnation is short just fold its contents into the callers.
