Re: [PATCH ovpn net v5 3/6] ovpn: initialize TCP state before registering UAPI

This fix looks good, just a few small comments:

If only the rtnl part is registered, we can create a netdevice but not
attach a socket to it, so the ovpn_tcp_* ops should not be reachable.

I don't think that comment adds much. The commit message explains why
this needs to be moved (and why this had to be moved, if someone
touches this later)
