Isn't this name is too generic? Why not net_namespace?

Good reason for adding list_for_each_continue_reverse :)

Maybe it's better to do it vice-versa?
if (ops->init)
   for_each_net(net)
       ops->init(net);

The same here.

Very minor: why do you give the name "device" to some pernet_operations?
