ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()
Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev since it is always NULL. This is clearly wrong, we have code to initialize it to loopback_dev, unfortunately the order is still not correct. loopback_dev is registered very early during boot, we lose a chance to re-initialize it in notifier. addrconf_init() is called after ip6_route_init(), which means we have no chance to correct it. Fix it by moving this initialization explicitly after ipv6_add_dev(init_net.loopback_dev) in addrconf_init().
