Hi Dave,

this fixes an initialization bug in the bm textsearch
algorithm affecting the netfilter string match (the
only user AFAIK). Please apply to 2.6.18, thanks.

@stable maintainers: the bm_ts author asked me to also
submit this to -stable, please apply.

[TEXTSEARCH]: Fix Boyer Moore initialization bug

The pattern is set after trying to compute the prefix table, which tries
to use it. Initialize it before calling compute_prefix_tbl, make
compute_prefix_tbl consistently use only the data from struct ts_bm
and remove the now unnecessary arguments.
