Xin Long d5494acb88 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.

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
