Subject: [PATCH 2/6] net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_many()

From: Eric Dumazet <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:04:19 +0100

Introduce rollback_registered_many() and unregister_netdevice_many()

rollback_registered_many() is able to perform necessary steps at device dismantle
time, factorizing two expensive synchronize_net() calls.
