Now, register notifier after register proto successfully. It can create raw socket and set socket options once register proto successfully, so it is possible missing notifier event before register notifier successfully although this is a low probability scenario. Move notifier registration to the front of proto registration like done in j1939. In addition, register_netdevice_notifier() may fail, check its result is necessary.
