From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>
We had a report that iptables-restore sometimes triggered null-ptr-deref
at boot time. [0]
The problem is that iptable_nat_table_init() is exposed to user space
before the kernel fully initialises netns.
In the small race window, a user could call iptable_nat_table_init()
that accesses net_generic(net, iptable_nat_net_id), which is available
only after registering iptable_nat_net_ops.
Let's call register_pernet_subsys() before xt_register_template().
