tipc: fix ordering of tipc module init and exit routine
In order to set/get/dump, the tipc uses the generic netlink infrastructure. So, when tipc module is inserted, init function calls genl_register_family(). After genl_register_family(), set/get/dump commands are immediately allowed and these callbacks internally use the net_generic. net_generic is allocated by register_pernet_device() but this is called after genl_register_family() in the __init function. So, these callbacks would use un-initialized net_generic. Test commands: #SHELL1 while : do modprobe tipc modprobe -rv tipc done #SHELL2 while : do tipc link list done Splat looks like: [ 59.616322][ T2788] kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled [ 59.617234][ T2788] kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access [ 59.618398][ T2788] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC KASAN PTI [ 59.619389][ T2788] CPU: 3 PID: 2788 Comm: tipc Not tainted 5.4.0+ #194 ...
