Well, opening a CAN_RAW socket is not a proof that you can delay
register_netdevice_notifier() that much.
After creating the socket you need to set the netdevice and can add some
CAN filters and execute bind() on that socket.
And these filters need to be removed be the netdev notifier when someone
plugs out the USB CAN adapter.

I'm not sure either and this is why I'm asking.
Maybe having the notifier enabled first does not have a negative effect
when removing the USB CAN interface when there is CAN_RAW protocol has
been registered.
But if so, the PF_PACKET code should be revisited too.
