Eric W. Biederman 0723f2f012 net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications. ...

commit d90a909e1f3e006a1d57fe11fd417173b6494701 upstream.

I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immeidate
access files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been
registered yet.

The problem was trivailly fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event to the end of register_netdevice.
