[AF_UNIX] Initialise UNIX sockets before general device initcalls
When drivers call request_module(), it tries to do something with UNIX sockets and triggers a 'runaway loop modprobe net-pf-1' warning. Avoid this by initialising AF_UNIX support earlier. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
