Script failure checking kernel IPFILTER support

The script /etc/rc.d/ipfilter attempts to load the ipl module even if this 
was compiled into the kernel. Apparently "ipl" can't be used as a modname 
argument for kldstat to give the desired result. I'm currently using a 
workaround as shown below, works for both the generic and the customized 
kernel.
