Subject: [PATCH net v4 05/12] driver: veth: Fix one possbile memleak when fail to register_netdevice

From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@...mail.com>

The veth driver allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and
free them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak that some
errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init callback.
Because the destructor would not be invoked to free the resources.

Now create one new func veth_destructor_free to free the mem in the
destructor, and add ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to register
the veth device.

It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin
that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after
register the device successfully.
