ipv4: give an IPv4 dev to blackhole_netdev

After commit 8d7017fd621d ("blackhole_netdev: use blackhole_netdev to
invalidate dst entries"), blackhole_netdev was introduced to invalidate
dst cache entries on the TX path whenever the cache times out or is
flushed.

When two UDP sockets (sk1 and sk2) send messages to the same destination
simultaneously, they are using the same dst cache. If the dst cache is
invalidated on one path (sk2) while the other (sk1) is still transmitting,
sk1 may try to use the invalid dst entry.

         CPU1                   CPU2

      udp_sendmsg(sk1)       udp_sendmsg(sk2)
      udp_send_skb()
      ip_output()
                                             <--- dst timeout or flushed
                             dst_dev_put()
      ip_finish_output2()
      ip_neigh_for_gw()

This results in a scenario where ip_neigh_for_gw() returns -EINVAL because
blackhole_dev lacks an in_dev, which is needed to initialize the neigh in
arp_constructor(). This error is then propagated back to userspace,
breaking the UDP application.

The patch fixes this issue by assigning an in_dev to blackhole_dev for
IPv4, similar to what was done for IPv6 in commit e5f80fcf869a ("ipv6:
give an IPv6 dev to blackhole_netdev"). This ensures that even when the
dst entry is invalidated with blackhole_dev, it will not fail to create
the neigh entry.

As devinet_init() is called ealier than blackhole_netdev_init() in system
booting, it can not assign the in_dev to blackhole_dev in devinet_init().
As Paolo suggested, add a separate late_initcall() in devinet.c to ensure
inet_blackhole_dev_init() is called after blackhole_netdev_init().
