net: Fix more stale on-stack list_head objects.

From: Eric W. Biederman <[email protected]> In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times. So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed will fix this problem. Now to go test that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
