[ 082/167] [PATCH] dummy: Add ndo_uninit().

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hiroaki SHIMODA <shimoda.hiroaki@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 890fdf2a0cb88202d1427589db2cf29c1bdd3c1d upstream.

In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later
some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called.
So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method
to free percpu stats for this case.
And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when
device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from
being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().
