[NETFILTER]: xt_pkttype: fix mismatches on locally generated packets

Locally generated broadcast and multicast packets have pkttype set to
PACKET_LOOPBACK instead of PACKET_BROADCAST or PACKET_MULTICAST. This
causes the pkttype match to fail to match packets of either type.

The below patch remedies this by using the daddr as a hint as to
broadcast|multicast. While not pretty, this seems like the only way
to solve the problem short of just noting this as a limitation of the
match.

This resolves netfilter bugzilla #484
