Public bug reported:
[Impact]
In some conditions, is not possible to remove the vlan module due to a
netdevice reference leak.
The problem has been fixed in linux v5.17 with commit d6ff94afd90b ("vlan: move
dev_put into vlan_dev_uninit").

This commit has been backported in linux 5.15.142:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=02caa78cbc22
To avoid conflict, the following commit was also backported right before:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=842801181864
[Test Case]
As described in the commit, it is simple to reproduce the issue. Simply
create a dummy, a vlan on top of it, and a vlan on top of the previously
created vlan, then try to remove the 8021q module.
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add link dummy0 name dummy0.1 type vlan id 1
ip link add link dummy0.1 name dummy0.1.2 type vlan id 2
rmmod 8021q
[freeze]
unregister_netdevice: waiting for dummy0.1 to become free. Usage count = 1
[Regression Potential]
These 2 patches are quite simple. They have been backported in the
official 5.15 stable. The risk of regression should be contained.
