netfilter: xtables: check for unconditionality of policies

This adds a check that iptables's original author Rusty set forth in
a FIXME comment.

Underflows in iptables are better known as chain policies, and are
required to be unconditional or there would be a stochastical chance
for the policy rule to be skipped if it does not match. If that were
to happen, rule execution would continue in an unexpected spurious
fashion.
