Resending, did not include netdev the first time ...
If a macvlan/macvtap creation fails in register_netdevice in
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_REGISTER) then while cleaning things up in
rollback_registered_many it invokes macvlan_uninit. This results in
port->count being decremented twice (in macvlan_uninit and in
macvlan_common_newlink).
A similar problem may exist in the ipvlan driver.
This patch adds priv_flags to struct macvlan_dev and a flag that
macvlan_uninit can use to determine if it is invoked in the context of a
failed newlink.
In macvtap_device_event(NETDEV_UNREGISTER) it also avoids cleaning up
/dev/tapNN in case creation of the char device had previously failed.
Tested in 3.18.
The failure can be reproduced by running the script below a few times. The
script creates macvtap interfaces in different namespaces causing along the
way sysfs_warn_dup failures in macvtap_device_event(NETDEV_REGISTER)
because of conflicting ifindexes, and finally a panic or
"unregister_netdevice: waiting for ddev to become free".
