[PATCH] af_key: fix netns ops ordering on module load/unload

1. After sock_register() returns, it's possible to create sockets,
  even if module still not initialized fully (blame generic module code
  for that!)
2. Consequently, pfkey_create() can be called with pfkey_net_id still not
  initialized which will BUG_ON in net_generic():
       kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:43!
3. During netns shutdown, netns ops should be unregistered after
  key manager unregistered because key manager calls can be triggered
  from xfrm_user module:

       general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
       pfkey_broadcast+0x111/0x210 [af_key]
       pfkey_send_notify+0x16a/0x300 [af_key]
       km_state_notify+0x41/0x70
       xfrm_flush_sa+0x75/0x90 [xfrm_user]
4. Unregister netns ops after socket ops just in case and for symmetry.
