Eric Dumazet 6a827d8a67 net: force a list_del() in unregister_netdevice_many() ...

[ Upstream commit 87757a917b ]

unregister_netdevice_many() API is error prone and we had too
many bugs because of dangling LIST_HEAD on stacks.

See commit f87e6f4793 ("net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD")

In fact, instead of making sure no caller leaves an active list_head,
just force a list_del() in the callee. No one seems to need to access
the list after unregister_netdevice_many()
