commit 2014beea7eb165c745706b13659a0f1d0a9a2a61 upstream.
Commit 93ee31f14f6f ("[NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.") moved net_set_todo() outside of rollback_registered() so that rollback_registered() can be used in the failure path of register_netdevice() but without risking a double free.
Since commit cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state."), however, we have a better way of handling that condition, since destructors don't call free_netdev() directly.
After the change in commit c269a24ce057 ("net: make free_netdev() more lenient with unregistering devices") we can now move net_set_todo() back.
