[ Upstream commit 814152a89ed52c722ab92e9fbabcac3cb8a39245 ]
I got a memleak report when doing some fuzz test:

If call_netdevice_notifiers() failed, then rollback_registered() calls netdev_unregister_kobject() which holds the kobject. The reference cannot be put because the netdev won't be add to todo list, so it will leads a memleak, we need put the reference to avoid memleak.
