Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: defer net_secret[] initialization

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Instead of feeding net_secret[] at boot time, defer the init
at the point first socket is created.

This permits some platforms to use better entropy sources than
the ones available at boot time.
