Did you mean sk_chk_filter?  The problem is that sk_{chk,run}_filter are
only exported on CONFIG_FILTER.  Congrats, you found a bug. :)  Go email
Dave S. Miller <davem at redhat.com> about this.  In the mean time, edit
net/netsyms.c, search for the symbols and remove the #ifdef CONFIG_FILTER/#endif
around them.  Re-run make dep and recompile.
