Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 02/25] rtnetlink: don't crash on unregister if no dellink exists

rtnl_unregister_ops calls __rtnl_links_kill which calls
unconditionally ops->dellink on any related interface.

However, if a module hasn't implemented dellink, this
invocation will crash.

Add a check to avoid calling dellink when NULL and rather
invoke netdevice_unregister_queue to schedule unregistering
the device as usual.
