This function is exported purely for netdev_wait_allrefs()'s sake
and for no other purpose.
In fact, I'd say this is entirely a private functional interface
specifically built for generic network interface tear-down.
If you are trying to use this function in another context, that's
something you need to discuss with us first before we start peppering
it with various assertions.
I am not applying this patch.
