[PATCH RFC 06/25] net: Add pernet sys and registration functions

[Kirill Tkhai]

This is a new sublist of pernet_list, which will live ahead
of already existing:

sys, subsys, device.

It's aimed for subsystems, which pernet_operations may execute
in parallel with any other's pernet_operations. In further,
step-by-step we will move all subsys there, adding necessary
small synchronization locks, where it's need. After all subsys
are moved to sys, we'll kill subsys list and we'll have
all current subsys not requiring net_mutex and to be able
to init and exit in parallel with others.

Then we'll add dev sublist ahead of device, and will repeat
the cycle.
