From: Jakub Kicinski <k...@kernel.org> [ Upstream commit 47e4bb147a96f1c9b4e7691e7e994e53838bfff8 ]
We need to unregister the netdevice if config failed. .ndo_uninit takes care of most of the heavy lifting. This was uncovered by recent commit c269a24ce057 ("net: make free_netdev() more lenient with unregistering devices"). Previously the partially-initialized device would be left in the system.
