net_sched: reorder pernet ops and act ops registrations
Krister reported a kernel NULL pointer dereference after tcf_action_init_1() invokes a_o->init(), it is a race condition where one thread calling tcf_register_action() to initialize the netns data after putting act ops in the global list and the other thread searching the list and then calling a_o->init(net, ...). Fix this by moving the pernet ops registration before making the action ops visible. This is fine because: a) we don't rely on act_base in pernet ops->init(), b) in the worst case we have a fully initialized netns but ops is still not ready so new actions still can't be created.
