[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. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
