net: Handle NETREG_UNINITIALIZED devices correctly

Browse Source 
Fix two problems:

1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
   and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
   when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
   of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
   remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
   are leaked/unregistered.

2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
   since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
   processed.

Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
	1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
	   ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
	    free. Usage count = 1")
	2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
	   and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
	   during subsequent registration.

Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.
