Jakub Kicinski 2014beea7e net: move net_set_todo inside rollback_registered()
Commit 93ee31f14f ("[NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev
failure.") moved net_set_todo() outside of rollback_registered()
so that rollback_registered() can be used in the failure path of
register_netdevice() but without risking a double free.

Since commit cf124db566 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and
release of private netdev state."), however, we have a better
way of handling that condition, since destructors don't call
free_netdev() directly.

After the change in commit c269a24ce0 ("net: make free_netdev()
more lenient with unregistering devices") we can now move
net_set_todo() back.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
