netfilter: x_tables: misuse of try_then_request_module 

Since xt_find_match() returns ERR_PTR(xx) on error not NULL,
the macro try_then_request_module won't work correctly here.
The macro expects its first argument will be zero if condition
fails. But ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) is not zero.

The correct solution is to propagate the error value
back.

Found by inspection, and compile tested only.
