Subject: [PATCH] net: free_netdev: exit earlier if dummy
For dummy devices, exit earlier at free_netdev() instead of executing
the whole function. This is necessary, because dummy devices are
special, and shouldn't have the second part of the function executed.
Otherwise reg_state, which is NETREG_DUMMY, will be overwritten and
there will be no way to identify that this is a dummy device. Also, this
device do not need the final put_device(), since dummy devices are not
registered (through register_netdevice()), where the device reference is
increased (at netdev_register_kobject()/device_add()).
