[ Upstream commit d02854dc1999ed3e7fd79ec700c64ac23ac0c458 ]
A null dereference was observed when a sysctl was being set from userspace and rmnet was stuck trying to complete some actions in the NETDEV_REGISTER callback. This is because the real_dev is set only after the device registration handler completes.
