net: Fix wild-memory-access in __register_pernet_operations() when CONFIG_NET_NS=n.

kernel test robot reported the splat below. [0]

Before commit fed176bf3143 ("net: Add ops_undo_single for module
load/unload."), if CONFIG_NET_NS=n, ops was linked to pernet_list
only when init_net had not been initialised, and ops was unlinked
from pernet_list only under the same condition.

Let's say an ops is loaded before the init_net setup but unloaded
after that.  Then, the ops remains in pernet_list, which seems odd.

The cited commit added ops_undo_single(), which calls list_add() for
ops to link it to a temporary list, so a minor change was added to
__register_pernet_operations() and __unregister_pernet_operations()
under CONFIG_NET_NS=n to avoid the pernet_list corruption.

However, the corruption must have been left as is.

When CONFIG_NET_NS=n, pernet_list was used to keep ops registered
before the init_net setup, and after that, pernet_list was not used
at all.

This was because some ops annotated with __net_initdata are cleared
out of memory at some point during boot.

Then, such ops is initialised by POISON_FREE_INITMEM (0xcc), resulting
in that ops->list.{next,prev} suddenly switches from a valid pointer
to a weird value, 0xcccccccccccccccc.

To avoid such wild memory access, let's allow the pernet_list
corruption for CONFIG_NET_NS=n.
