Given paranoia in netdev_run_todo(),

		/* paranoia */
		BUG_ON(netdev_refcnt_read(dev) != 1);

the claim that dev_hold(dev) might be done too late could not explain
the success of checking NETREG_REGISTERED, because of checking 
NETREG_UNREGISTERING after rcu barrier.

	/* Wait for rcu callbacks to finish before next phase */
	if (!list_empty(&list))
		rcu_barrier();

	list_for_each_entry_safe(dev, tmp, &list, todo_list) {
		if (unlikely(dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERING)) {
			netdev_WARN(dev, "run_todo but not unregistering\n");
			list_del(&dev->todo_list);
			continue;
		}
