      net: Guaranetee the proper ordering of the loopback device. · ae33bc40
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      I was recently hunting a bug that occurred in network namespace
      cleanup.  In looking at the code it became apparrent that we have
      and will continue to have cases where if we have anything going
      on in a network namespace there will be assumptions that the
      loopback device is present.   Things like sending igmp unsubscribe
      messages when we bring down network devices invokes the routing
      code which assumes that at least the loopback driver is present.
      
      Therefore to avoid magic initcall ordering hackery that is hard
      to follow and hard to get right insert a call to register the
      loopback device directly from net_dev_init().    This guarantes
      that the loopback device is the first device registered and
      the last network device to go away.
