Subject: [PATCH v2] net: rtnetlink: Fix rtnl_dereference may be return NULL

The value 'link' may be NULL in rtnl_unregister(), this leads to
kfree_rcu(NULL, xxx), so add this case handling. And modify the return
value to 'void' in rtnl_unregister(). there is no case using it.

Fixes: addf9b90de22 (net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers)
Fixes: 51e13685bd93 (rtnetlink: RCU-annotate both dimensions of rtnl_msg_handlers)
