[43/50] gre: fix netns vs proto registration ordering

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Aug 05 2011 - 20:16:21 EST


2.6.33-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c2892f02712e9516d72841d5c019ed6916329794 upstream.

GRE protocol receive hook can be called right after protocol addition is done.
If netns stuff is not yet initialized, we're going to oops in
net_generic().

This is remotely oopsable if ip_gre is compiled as module and packet
comes at unfortunate moment of module loading.
