Subject: [Patch net] ipv6: only call ip6_route_dev_notify() once for NETDEV_UNREGISTER

In commit 242d3a49a2a1 ("ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf")
I assumed NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_UNREGISTER are paired,
unfortunately, as reported by jeffy, netdev_wait_allrefs()
could rebroadcast NETDEV_UNREGISTER event until all refs are
gone.

We have to add an additional check to avoid this corner case.
For netdev_wait_allrefs() dev->reg_state is NETREG_UNREGISTERED,
for dev_change_net_namespace(), dev->reg_state is
NETREG_REGISTERED. So check for dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERED.

Fixes: 242d3a49a2a1 ("ipv6: reorder ip6_route_dev_notifier after ipv6_dev_notf")
