Also looks mostly fine, a few comments below.

I would still prefer to have this on a per-device level configured
through netlink, but since we currently don't support specifying
flags for new devices anyways, I won't argue about it anymore
(OTOH, if you'd agree I could send a patch to add this feature
to the rtnl_link API).

This is not needed anymore. The rtnl_link_unregister function calls
the ->dellink function for each device of this type. Check out the
current dummy.c driver.

Where is the socket used and what makes sure it still exists?

Both the addlink and dellink function can be removed, the default
for addlink is register_netdevice, the default for unregister
is unregister_netdevice (and the list is not needed anymore as
mentioned above).

Just using rtnl_link_register here is fine.

and rtnl_link_unregister (without manual cleanup) here.
