net: Statically initialize init_net.dev_base_head
commit 734b65417b24d6eea3e3d7457e1f11493890ee1d upstream. This change eliminates an initialization-order hazard most recently seen when netprio_cgroup is built into the kernel. With thanks to Eric Dumazet for catching a bug. Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad <mark.d.rustad@intel.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
