Patch fix issue introduced by 443457242beb6716b43db4d62fe148eab5515505
"net: factorize sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many". It manifest
on my system by following warning when removing usb wireless device.

I did not try review related code. I think someone who understand it,
should audit it carefully to exclude similar issues. Adding
dev->unreg_list to various local list, when device will not gonna be
destroyed looks really fishy.
