[NET]: Call uninit if necessary in register_netdevice
This patch makes register_netdevice call dev->uninit if the regsitration fails after dev->init has completed successfully. Very few drivers use the init/uninit calls but at least one (drivers/net/wan/sealevel.c) may leak without this change. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
