raw_notifier_call_chain isn't safe without holding some sort of lock.
So removing the ASSERT_RTNL assert here is papering over a bug elsewhere
in this patch.

Without holding a lock for traversing the notifier chain there will
be races with network module load and unload that could corrupt
this list while we are traversing it.
load/unlod.

You already have one of your NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL calls under the
rtnl_lock so it doesn't look like a burden to put the other call under
the rtnl_lock as well.

You have just added an rcu_barrier() under the rtnl_lock.
Can you make this.
			__rtnl_unlock();
                        rcu_barrier();
                        rtnl_lock();

Which will be much better for rtnl_lock hold times.

Why are you skipping grapping the rtl_lock here? 

rtnl_lock();
__rtnl_unlock() doesn't look scary.
