I think there is a missing call to netdev_wait_allrefs() in the
rollback_registered_many().

The normal success flow has this wait after delivering
NETDEV_UNREGISTER, the error unwind for register_netdevice should as
well.

If the netdevice can progress to free while a dev_hold is active I
think it means dev_hold is functionally useless.
