4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 8799a221f5944a7d74516ecf46d58c28ec1d1f75 ]
Net stack initialization currently initializes fib-trie after the
first call to netdevice_notifier() call. In fact fib_trie initialization
needs to happen before first rtnl_register(). It does not cause any problem
since there are no devices UP at this moment, but trying to bring 'lo'
UP at initialization would make this assumption wrong and exposes the issue.
Fixes following crash
