macvtap: check minor when unregistering

Browse source

macvtap_device_event(NETDEV_UNREGISTER) should check vlan->minor to
determine if it is being invoked in the context of a macvtap_newlink
that failed, for example in this code sequence:

macvtap_newlink
  macvlan_common_newlink
    register_netdevice
      call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_REGISTER, dev)
        macvtap_device_event(NETDEV_REGISTER)
          <fail here, vlan->minor = 0>
      rollback_registered(dev);
        rollback_registered_many
          call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_UNREGISTER, dev);
            macvtap_device_event(NETDEV_UNREGISTER)
              <nothing to clean up here>
