Subject: [PATCH net] dccp: call inet_add_protocol after register_pernet_subsys in dccp_v4_init

Now dccp_ipv4 works as a kernel module. During loading this module, if
one dccp packet is being recieved after inet_add_protocol but before
register_pernet_subsys in which v4_ctl_sk is initialized, a null pointer
dereference may be triggered because of init_net.dccp.v4_ctl_sk is 0x0.

Jianlin found this issue when the following call trace occurred:

This patch is to move inet_add_protocol after register_pernet_subsys in
dccp_v4_init, so that v4_ctl_sk is initialized before any incoming dccp
packets are processed.
