ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf
For each netns (except init_net), we initialize its null entry in 3 places: 1) The template itself, as we use kmemdup() 2) Code around dst_init_metrics() in ip6_route_net_init() 3) ip6_route_dev_notify(), which is supposed to initialize it after loopback registers Unfortunately the last one still happens in a wrong order because we expect to initialize net->ipv6.ip6_null_entry->rt6i_idev to net->loopback_dev's idev, thus we have to do that after we add idev to loopback. However, this notifier has priority == 0 same as ipv6_dev_notf, and ipv6_dev_notf is registered after ip6_route_dev_notifier so it is called actually after ip6_route_dev_notifier. This is similar to commit 2f460933f58e ("ipv6: initialize route null entry in addrconf_init()") which fixes init_net. Fix it by picking a smaller priority for ip6_route_dev_notifier. Also, we have to release the refcnt accordingly when unregistering loopback_dev because device exit functions are called before subsys exit functions.
