Subject: [PATCH net-next] ip6_gre: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

After adopting CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT=n option, syzbot was able to trigger
a warning [1]

Issue here is that:

- all dev_put() should be paired with a corresponding dev_hold(),
  and vice versa.

- A driver doing a dev_put() in its ndo_uninit() MUST also
  do a dev_hold() in its ndo_init(), only when ndo_init()
  is returning 0.

Otherwise, register_netdevice() would call ndo_uninit()
in its error path and release a refcount too soon.

ip6_gre for example (among others problematic drivers)
has to use dev_hold() in ip6gre_tunnel_init_common()
instead of from ip6gre_newlink_common(), covering
both ip6gre_tunnel_init() and ip6gre_tap_init()/

Note that ip6gre_tunnel_init_common() is not called from
ip6erspan_tap_init() thus we also need to add a dev_hold() there,
as ip6erspan_tunnel_uninit() does call dev_put()
