3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Forster <dfors...@brocade.com>
[ Upstream commit 93e246f783e6bd1bc64fdfbfe68b18161f69b28e ]
vti6 interface is registered before the rtnl_link_ops block
is attached. As a result the resulting RTM_NEWLINK is missing
IFLA_INFO_KIND. Re-order attachment of rtnl_link_ops block to fix.
