Some Kconfig symbols were changed to depend on the 'bool' symbol
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY, which means they can now be set to built-in
when the xtables code itself is in a loadable module:

Change these to depend on both NETFILTER_XTABLES and
NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY.
Thanks Arnd.  I thought we could just replace NETFILTER_XTABLES depends
with NETFILTER_XTABLES_LEGACY, but I missed the difference between
tristate and bool.
