Subject: [IPV4]: Only panic if inetdev_init fails for loopback
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8d76527e728d00d1cf9d5dd663caffb2dcf05ae6;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

[IPV4]: Only panic if inetdev_init fails for loopback

When I made the inetdev_init call work on all devices I incorrectly
left in the panic call as well.  It is obviously undesirable to
panic on an allocation failure for a normal network device.  This
patch moves the panic call under the loopback if clause.
