If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Rustad, Mark D" commit 734b65417b24d6eea3e3d7457e1f11493890ee1d upstream. This change eliminates an initialization-order hazard most recently seen when netprio_cgroup is built into the kernel. With thanks to Eric Dumazet for catching a bug.
