Sure but all the validation is before we start calling delink, so
doesn't matter?

list to_kill, queued;

for_each_attr(nest) {
	...

	dev = get_by_index(nla_get_s32(..));
	if (!dev)
		goto cleanup;
	if (!list_empty(&dev->unreg_list))
		goto cleanup;
	...

	list_add(&to_kill, &dev->unreg_list);
}

for_each_entry_safe(to_kill) {
	list_del_init(&dev->unreg_list);
	->dellink(dev, queued);
}

unreg_many(queued);

return

cleanup:
	for_each_entry_safe(to_kill) {
		list_del_init(&dev->unreg_list);
	}

No?
