[PATCH] net: use designated initializers

[PATCH] net: use designated initializers

[Kees Cook]

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making
sure they're using designated initializers. These were identified during
allyesconfig builds of x86, arm, and arm64, with most initializer fixes
extracted from grsecurity.

Applied, although "decnet: " would have been a much better
subsystem prefix.

Thanks! Yeah, I had corrected that in my tree already in case there
was a v2 needed. I was working off an auto-splitting script that I
taught to guess at prefixes by looking at commit logs. It didn't work
very well. ;) We need another field in MAINTAINERS. :)
