flow_dissect: call init_default_flow_dissectors() earlier

commit c9b8af1330198ae241cd545e1f040019010d44d9 upstream.

Andre Noll reported panics after my recent fix (commit 34fad54c2537
"net: __skb_flow_dissect() must cap its return value")

After some more headaches, Alexander root caused the problem to
init_default_flow_dissectors() being called too late, in case
a network driver like IGB is not a module and receives DHCP message
very early.

Fix is to call init_default_flow_dissectors() much earlier,
as it is a core infrastructure and does not depend on another
kernel service.
