[IPV4]: Only panic if inetdev_init fails for loopback
When I made the inetdev_init call work on all devices I incorrectly
left in the panic call as well. It is obviously undesirable to
panic on an allocation failure for a normal network device. This
patch moves the panic call under the loopback if clause.
