Subject: [PATCH net v4] ipv6: clean up dev_snmp6 proc entry when we fail to initialize inet6_dev

In ipv6_add_dev, when addrconf_sysctl_register fails, we do not clean up
the dev_snmp6 entry that we have already registered for this device.
Call snmp6_unregister_dev in this case.

Fixes: a317a2f19da7d ("ipv6: fail early when creating netdev named all or default")

v4: v3 had a bad message-id and didn't get picked up by patchwork,
    sorry for the noise
v3: add Fixes: tag, thanks Eric.
v2: we cannot call snmp6_unregister_dev from addrconf_core.c, this
    breaks CONFIG_IPV6=m, instead do the clean up directly from
    ipv6_add_dev
    thanks Cong.
