[PATCH 1/3] netfilter: nfnetlink_{log,queue}: Register pernet in first place

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

From: Francesco Ruggeri <fruggeri@aristanetworks.com>

nfnetlink_{log,queue}_init() register the netlink callback nf*_rcv_nl_event
before registering the pernet_subsys, but the callback relies on data
structures allocated by pernet init functions.

When nfnetlink_{log,queue} is loaded, if a netlink message is received after
the netlink callback is registered but before the pernet_subsys is registered,
the kernel will panic in the sequence

nfulnl_rcv_nl_event
  nfnl_log_pernet
    net_generic
      BUG_ON(id == 0)  where id is nfnl_log_net_id.

The panic can be easily reproduced in 4.0.3 by:

while true ;do modprobe nfnetlink_log ; rmmod nfnetlink_log ; done &
while true ;do ip netns add dummy ; ip netns del dummy ; done &

This patch moves register_pernet_subsys to earlier in nfnetlink_log_init.

Notice that the BUG_ON hit in 4.0.3 was recently removed in 2591ffd308
["netns: remove BUG_ONs from net_generic()"].
