[PATCH 4.9 178/240] ip6_vti: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods

[ Upstream commit 40cb881b5aaa0b69a7d93dec8440d5c62dae299f ]

After adopting CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT=n option, syzbot was able to trigger
a warning [1]

Issue here is that:

- all dev_put() should be paired with a corresponding prior dev_hold().

- A driver doing a dev_put() in its ndo_uninit() MUST also
do a dev_hold() in its ndo_init(), only when ndo_init()
is returning 0.

Otherwise, register_netdevice() would call ndo_uninit()
in its error path and release a refcount too soon.

Therefore, we need to move dev_hold() call from
vti6_tnl_create2() to vti6_dev_init_gen()
