3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 2f460933f58eee3393aba64f0f6d14acb08d1724 upstream.
Andrey reported a crash on init_net.ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev
since it is always NULL.
This is clearly wrong, we have code to initialize it to loopback_dev,
unfortunately the order is still not correct.
loopback_dev is registered very early during boot, we lose a chance
to re-initialize it in notifier. addrconf_init() is called after
ip6_route_init(), which means we have no chance to correct it.
Fix it by moving this initialization explicitly after
ipv6_add_dev(init_net.loopback_dev) in addrconf_init().
