net: In unregister_netdevice_notifier unregister the netdevices.
[ Upstream commit 7d3d43dab4e978d8d9ad1acf8af15c9b1c4b0f0f ] We already synthesize events in register_netdevice_notifier and synthesizing events in unregister_netdevice_notifier allows to us remove the need for special case cleanup code. This change should be safe as it adds no new cases for existing callers of unregiser_netdevice_notifier to handle. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
