Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: bareudp: simplify error paths calling dellink

bareudp_dellink() only needs the device list to hand it to
unregister_netdevice_queue(). We can pass NULL in, and
unregister_netdevice_queue() will do the unregistering.
There is no chance for batching on the error path, anyway.
