Since net/socket.o is the first linked file in net/Makefile, its core initcalls execute the first. netfilter_net_ops is executed right after sysctl_pernet_ops.
Methods netfilter_net_init() and netfilter_net_exit() initialize net::nf::hooks and change net-related proc directory of net. Another pernet_operations do not interested in forein net::nf::hooks or proc entries, so it's safe to move netfilter_net_ops to pernet list.
