Subject: netns: fix net_alloc_generic()
From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 073862ba5d249c20bd5c49fc6d904ff0e1f6a672 ]
When a new net namespace is created, we should attach to it a "struct
net_generic" with enough slots (even empty), or we can hit the following

net_alloc_generic() should take into account the maximum index into the
ptr array, as a subsystem might use net_generic() anytime.
This also reduces number of reallocations in net_assign_generic()
