Subject: kernel hangs when removing a dummy netdev with an attached macvlan

Hi all,

I noticed the kernel hangs when we create a dummy interface, assign a 
macvlan on it and then delete the dummy interface.

How to reproduce:

  ip link add dummy0 type dummy
  ip link add mc0 link dummy0 type macvlan
  ip link del dummy0

That triggers:
