3.2.97-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9f775ead5e570e7e19015b9e4e2f3dd6e71a5935 upstream. The l2tp_eth module crashes if its netlink callbacks are run when the pernet data aren't initialised. We should normally register_pernet_device() before the genl callbacks. However, the pernet data only maintain a list of l2tpeth interfaces, and this list is never used. So let's just drop pernet handling instead.
