netns: do not call pernet ops for not yet set up init_net namespace When CONFIG_NET_NS is disabled, registering pernet operations causes init() to be called immediately with init_net as an argument. Unfortunately this leads to some pernet ops, such as proc_net_ns_init() to be called too early, when init_net namespace has not been fully initialized. This causes issues when we want to change pernet ops to use more data from the net namespace in question, for example reference user namespace that owns our network namespace. To fix this we could either play game of musical chairs and rearrange init order, or we could do the same as when CONFIG_NET_NS is enabled, and postpone calling pernet ops->init() until namespace is set up properly. Note that we can not simply undo commit ed160e839d2e ("[NET]: Cleanup pernet operation without CONFIG_NET_NS") and use the same implementations for __register_pernet_operations() and __unregister_pernet_operations(), because many pernet ops are marked as __net_initdata and will be discarded, which wreaks havoc on our ops lists. Here we rely on the fact that we only use lists until init_net is fully initialized, which happens much earlier than discarding __net_initdata sections.
