The tunnel devices gre, ipip, sit, ip6_tunnel, and the ethernet
bridging still need some tlc to give them rtnl_link_ops, and in
particular dellink operations so the deletions can be done in one big
batch.

The batch operations are mostly a generalization of a bunch of what
was already there.

I keep planning on doing something else and then I wind up working on
this.

Mostly what I have done turned out to be some very low hanging fruit,
and some general cleanups.
