Move hhook's per-vnet initialisation to an earlier SYSINIT SI_SUB stage to

ensure all per-vnet related hhook initialisation is completed prior to any
virtualised hhook points attempting registration.

vnet_register_sysinit() requires that a stage later than SI_SUB_VNET be chosen.
There are no per-vnet initialisors in the source tree at this time which run
earlier than SI_SUB_INIT_IF. A quick audit of non-virtualised SYSINITs indicates
there are no subsystems pre SI_SUB_MBUF that would likely be interested in
registering a virtualised hhook point.

Settle on SI_SUB_MBUF as hhook's per-vnet initialisation stage as it's the first
overtly network-related initilisation stage to run after SI_SUB_VNET. If a
subsystem that initialises earlier than SI_SUB_MBUF ends up wanting to register
virtualised hhook points in future, hhook's use of SI_SUB_MBUF will need to be
revisited and would probably warrant creating a dedicated SI_SUB_HHOOK which
runs immediately after SI_SUB_VNET.
