net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_queue()
This patchs adds an unreg_list anchor to struct net_device, and introduces an unregister_netdevice_queue() function, able to queue a net_device to a list instead of immediately unregister it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
