2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobri...@gmail.com> commit c2892f02712e9516d72841d5c019ed6916329794 upstream. GRE protocol receive hook can be called right after protocol addition is done. If netns stuff is not yet initialized, we're going to oops in net_generic(). This is remotely oopsable if ip_gre is compiled as module and packet comes at unfortunate moment of module loading.
