[VLAN]: Fix net_device leak.
In "[VLAN]: Move device registation to seperate function" (commit e89fe42cd03c8fd3686df82d8390a235717a66de), a pile of code got moved to register_vlan_dev(), including grabbing a reference to underlying device. However, original dev_hold() had been left behind, so we leak a reference to net_device now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
