kcm: switch order of device registration to fix a crash
[ Upstream commit 3c446e6 ]
When kcm is loaded while many processes try to create a KCM socket, a
crash occurs:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000e
IP: mutex_lock+0x27/0x40 kernel/locking/mutex.c:240

Call Trace:
kcm_create+0x600/0xbf0 [kcm]
__sock_create+0x324/0x750 net/socket.c:1272
...
This is due to race between sock_create and unfinished
register_pernet_device. kcm_create tries to do "net_generic(net,
kcm_net_id)". but kcm_net_id is not initialized yet.
So switch the order of the two to close the race.
This can be reproduced with mutiple processes doing socket(PF_KCM, ...)
and one process doing module removal.
Fixes: ab7ac4e ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module")
