From: Gao Feng <gfree.w...@foxmail.com>
The vlan driver allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and
free some of them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak
that some errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init
callback. Because only the ndo_uninit callback is invoked in the error
handler of register_netdevice, but destructor not.
Now create one new func vlan_destructor_free to free the mem in the
destructor, and ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to register
the vlan device.
It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin
that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after
register the device successfully.
