Please, merge this two patches in one single patch.

I have to pass up batches to David, and I would like this cleanups are
grouped into the same logical change.

Is there more occurrences of this in the Netfilter tree? Please have a
look at net/ipv4/netfilter/ net/ipv6/netfilter/ and
net/bridge/netfilter, we also have code there.

Thanks.
