net: Fix userspace RTM_NEWLINK notifications.

Browse Source 
commit d90a909e1f upstream.

I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immeidate
access files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been
registered yet.

The problem was trivailly fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event to the end of register_netdevice.
