The kernel compilation fails with allnoconfig with an unresolved to init_net.
I tryed to figure out how to fix that. The problem is raised because the init_net
variable is defined as extern in net_namespace.h while the variable is declared
in net_namespace.c. This file is not compiled because of the config options and
that leads to the compilation error.

I noticed the uts namespace defines the init_uts_ns in init/version.c, so I moved
the init_net to this file too. The compilation error is fixed.

But I don't like really this approach because:
	1 - we fall under a part not covered by the network
	2 - we add a new include net_namespace.h in version.c

Does this fix seems correct ? I just want to fix it for now to have net-2.6.24
compiling for all configs.
