Jiri Slaby 3c446e6f96 kcm: switch order of device registration to fix a crash 
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
 PGD 8000000016ef2067 P4D 8000000016ef2067 PUD 3d6e9067 PMD 0
 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
 CPU: 0 PID: 7005 Comm: syz-executor.5 Not tainted 4.12.14-396-default #1 SLE15-SP1 (unreleased)

 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: ab7ac4eb98 ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
