Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: use batched device unregister in veth
 and macvlan

veth devices dont use the batched device unregisters yet.

Since veth are a pair of devices, it makes sense to use a batch of two
unregisters, this roughly divides dismantle time by two.

Fix this by changing dellink() callers to always provide a non NULL
head. (Idea from Michał Mirosław)

This patch also handles macvlan case : We now dismantle all macvlans on
top of a lower dev at once.
