Subject: igmp: Fix regression caused by igmp sysctl namespace code.

From: Nikolay Borisov <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 1714020e42b17135032c8606f7185b3fb2ba5d78 ]

Commit dcd87999d415 ("igmp: net: Move igmp namespace init to correct file") moved the igmp sysctls initialization from tcp_sk_init to igmp_net_init. This function is only called as part of per-namespace initialization, only if CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is defined, otherwise igmp_mc_init() call in ip_init is compiled out, casuing the igmp pernet ops to not be registerd and those sysctl being left initialized with 0. However, there are certain functions, such as ip_mc_join_group which are always compiled and make use of some of those sysctls. Let's do a partial revert of the aforementioned commit and move the sysctl initialization into inet_init_net, that way they will always have sane values.
