net: remove dev_base_lock from register_netdevice() and friends.
RTNL already protects writes to dev->reg_state, we no longer need to hold dev_base_lock to protect the readers. unlist_netdevice() second argument can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
