net,pppoe: fixup module init/exit subsequent calls

pernet data should allocated first and freed last
on module init/exit routines otherwise it's possible
to have unserialized calls to packet handling routines.

Still no feedback on this one, but it looks totally correct to me.

So I've applied it to net-next-2.6 so that it doesn't get lost and if
it turns out we need it to actually fix a user reported bug we can
toss it into net-2.6 too.
