Subject: ovpn: ensure TCP vars are initialized first
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4680c0ebd958fc18e53c8b91d80436b236a8fc09;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

ovpn: ensure TCP vars are initialized first

Netlink calls may access TCP global vars (i.e. when attaching
a TCP socket), therefore we need to make sure the
latters are initialized beforehand.

For this reason move the global TCP initialization at the top
of the module init function.
