-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: David L Stevens <[email protected]>
It is important that we only assign dev->ip{,6}_ptr
only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup.
Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast
spinlocks et al. are initialized.
