[PATCH V1 net-next] net: only check perm protocol when register proto

[martinbj2008]

From: Junwei Zhang <martinbj2008@xxxxxxxxx>

the permanent protocol nodes are at the head of the list.
So only need check all these nodes.

and insert the new node after the last permanent protocol node,
no matter new node is permanent or not.

If the inserted proto conflicts with existing permanent protocol,
then goto out_permanent immediately.
