When vlan_newlink call register_vlan_dev fails, it might return error
with dev->reg_state = NETREG_UNREGISTERED. The rtnl_newlink should
free the memory. But currently rtnl_newlink only free the memory which
state is NETREG_UNINITIALIZED.

This needs a Fixes: tag.

Also, can't this bug happen in mainline too?  It's a bug fix and therefore
should target 'net' instead of 'net-next'.
