There was the check:

BUG_ON(!mutex_is_locked(&net_mutex));

which was killed in one of next commits of this patchset:

commit 447cd7a0d7d1e5b4486e99cce289654fec9951e3
Author: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com>
Date: Tue Feb 13 12:26:44 2018 +0300

net: Allow pernet_operations to be executed in parallel

So, the whole patchset as an atomic change is safe; and the only thing
is the hunk removing the BUG_ON() had to go in another patch.

Anyway, thanks for testing, Xiaolong.
