[PATCH] kobject_uevent: fix init ordering

Looks like kobject_uevent_init is executed before netlink_proto_init and
consequently always fails.  Not cool.

Attached patch switches the initialization over from core_initcall (init
level 1) to postcore_initcall (init level 2).  Netlink's initialization
is done in core_initcall, so this should fix the problem.  We should be
fine waiting until postcore_initcall.

Also a couple white space changes mixed in, because I am anal.
