rtnetlink: call ->dellink on failure when ->newlink exists
Ignacy reported that when eth0 is down and add a vlan device
on top of it like:
ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 up type vlan id 1
We will get a refcount leak:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0.1 to become free. Usage count = 2
The problem is when rtnl_configure_link() fails in rtnl_newlink(),
we simply call unregister_device(), but for stacked device like vlan,
we almost do nothing when we unregister the upper device, more work
is done when we unregister the lower device, so call its ->dellink().
