rds: tcp: Reorder initialization sequence in rds_tcp_init to avoid races

Browse Source 
Order of initialization in rds_tcp_init needs to be done so
that resources are set up and destroyed in the correct synchronization
sequence with both the data path, as well as netns create/destroy
path. Specifically,

- we must call register_pernet_subsys and get the rds_tcp_netid
  before calling register_netdevice_notifier, otherwise we risk
  the sequence
    1. register_netdevice_notifier sets up netdev notifier callback
    2. rds_tcp_dev_event -> rds_tcp_kill_sock uses netid 0, and finds
       the wrong rtn, resulting in a panic with string that is of the form:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000000d
  IP: rds_tcp_kill_sock+0x3a/0x1d0 [rds_tcp]
         :

- the rds_tcp_incoming_slab kmem_cache must be initialized before the
  datapath starts up. The latter can happen any time after the
  pernet_subsys registration of rds_tcp_net_ops, whose -> init
  function sets up the listen socket. If the rds_tcp_incoming_slab has
  not been set up at that time, a panic of the form below may be
  encountered

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000014
