Subject: [PATCH 3.16 061/204] netfilter: ipset: pernet ops must be
 unregistered last

3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

commit e23ed762db7ed1950a6408c3be80bc56909ab3d4 upstream.

Removing the ipset module leaves a small window where one cpu performs
module removal while another runs a command like 'ipset flush'.

ipset uses net_generic(), unregistering the pernet ops frees this
storage area.

Fix it by first removing the user-visible api handlers and the pernet
ops last.
