libxtables: Register only the highest revision extension
When fully registering extensions, ignore all consecutive ones with same name and family value. Since commit b3ac87038f4e4 ("libxtables: Make sure extensions register in revision order"), one may safely assume the list of pending extensions has highest revision numbers first. Since iptables is only interested in the highest revision the kernel supports, registration and compatibility checks may be skipped once the first matching extension in pending list has validated.
