net/core/sock.o is the first linked file in net/core/Makefile, so its core initcall executes the first in the directory.
net_inuse_ops methods expose statistics in /proc. No one from the rest of pernet_subsys or pernet_device lists does not touch net::core::inuse. So, it's safe to move net_inuse_ops to pernet_sys list.
