Subject: [PATCH v1 net 2/2] dev: Use rtnl_net_dev_lock() in unregister_netdev().

The following sequence is basically illegal when dev was fetched
without lookup because dev_net(dev) might be different after holding
rtnl_net_lock():

  net = dev_net(dev);
  rtnl_net_lock(net);

Let's use rtnl_net_dev_lock() in unregister_netdev().

Note that there is no real bug in unregister_netdev() for now
because RTNL protects the scope even if dev_net(dev) is changed
before/after RTNL.

Fixes: 00fb9823939e ("dev: Hold per-netns RTNL in (un)?register_netdev().")
