[PATCH 2/6] net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_many()

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

Introduce rollback_registered_many() and unregister_netdevice_many()

rollback_registered_many() is able to perform necessary steps at device dismantle
time, factorizing two expensive synchronize_net() calls.
