Only init_net's null entry is created here.

I don't understand what you are talking about...

It is obviously initialized in 3 places:

1) The template itself, as we use memdup()
2) Code around dst_init_metrics() in ip6_route_net_init()
3) ip6_route_dev_notify(), which is supposed to initialize it after
loopback registers (the order needs to fix, as shown in my patch)

Why not add a printk and play with my patch to see the difference?
