netfilter: nfnetlink_{log,queue}: Register pernet in first place
nfnetlink_{log,queue}_init() register the netlink callback nf*_rcv_nl_event before registering the pernet_subsys, but the callback relies on data structures allocated by pernet init functions. When nfnetlink_{log,queue} is loaded, if a netlink message is received after the netlink callback is registered but before the pernet_subsys is registered, the kernel will panic in the sequence nfulnl_rcv_nl_event nfnl_log_pernet net_generic BUG_ON(id == 0) where id is nfnl_log_net_id. The panic can be easily reproduced in 4.0.3 by: while true ;do modprobe nfnetlink_log ; rmmod nfnetlink_log ; done & while true ;do ip netns add dummy ; ip netns del dummy ; done & This patch moves register_pernet_subsys to earlier in nfnetlink_log_init. Notice that the BUG_ON hit in 4.0.3 was recently removed in 2591ffd3 ["netns: remove BUG_ONs from net_generic()"].
