before commit 2c352f444ccfa966a1aa4fd8e9ee29381c467448
(netfilter: nf_conntrack: prepare namespace support for
l4 protocol trackers), we register sysctl before register
protos, so if sysctl is registered faild, the protos will
not be registered.

but now, we register protos first, and when register
sysctl failed, we can use protos too, it's different
from before.

so change to register sysctl before register protos.

No, this has to be an all-or-nothing game. If one fails, everything
else that you've registered has to be unregistered.

This is still wrong.

If nf_ct_l3proto_register_sysctl fails, we'll leak the memory that has
been reserved by proto->init_net.

indeed,this is an all-or-nothing game right now,please look at the ipv4_net_init,
when we register nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4 failed,we will unregister the already
registered l4protoes, and in nf_conntrack_l4proto_unregister,we will call
nf_ct_l4proto_unregister_sysctl to free the sysctl table.

we have freed the memory in nf_ct_l[3,4]proto_register_sysctl when we
call nf_ct_register_sysctl failed, so there is no need to free this memory
in nf_conntrack_l[3,4]proto_register.

I see proto->init_net allocates in->ctl_table, then
nf_ct_l3proto_register_sysctl release it if it fails. I got confused
because I did not see where that memory was being freed. Then, it's
good.

Still one more thing:

I think proto->init_net has to be mandatory since all protocol support
pernet already. We can add BUG_ON at the beginning of the function if
proto->init_net is not defined.

I can manually add that to the patch if you see no inconvenience with
it.

we can add BUG_ON at nf_conntrack_l4proto_register,because all of the l4protoes
have the init_net function.

BUT nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv6 doesn't have init_net function,because this proto
doesn't have pernet data, and nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4 has pernet data only when
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT is configured.
