3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Rustad, Mark D" <mark.d.rus...@intel.com>
commit 734b65417b24d6eea3e3d7457e1f11493890ee1d upstream.
This change eliminates an initialization-order hazard most
recently seen when netprio_cgroup is built into the kernel.
With thanks to Eric Dumazet for catching a bug.
