Hi Cong Wang,

i don't know much about net core, maybe i'm misreading the code...but

i saw we are calling NETDEV_REGISTER in these cases:
1/ register_netdevice_notifier:
the paired unregister would be:
a) normal unregister: rollback_registered_many
b) the error path:
register_netdevice_notifier->rollback jump label

2/ register_netdevice:
the paired unregister would both be rollback_registered_many for 
normal/error cases

3/ dev_change_net_namespace:
the paired unregister is the one right before the register notify

i think we are handling all register notifies, but only unregister 
notify from rollback_registered_many now?
