[PATCH 04/16] net: Convert icmpv6_sk_ops, ndisc_net_ops and igmp6_net_ops

From: Kirill Tkhai <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-19 08:49:07
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

These pernet_operations create and destroy net::ipv6.icmp_sk
socket, used to send ICMP or error reply.

Nobody can dereference the socket to handle a packet before
net is initialized, as there is no routing; nobody can do
that in parallel with exit, as all of devices are moved
to init_net or destroyed and there are no packets it-flight.
So, it's possible to mark these pernet_operations as async.

The same for ndisc_net_ops and for igmp6_net_ops. The last
one also creates and destroys /proc entries.
