Right, but this is not 100% equivalent because we generate the
notifications _before_ we try to reload_down:

	devlink_ns_change_notify(devlink, dest_net, curr_net, false);
	err = devlink->ops->reload_down(devlink, !!dest_net, action, limit, extack);
	if (err)
		return err;

IDK why, I haven't investigated.
