VLAN checks for NETREG_UNINITIALIZED to distinguish between
registration failure and unregistration in progress.
Since commit cb626bf566eb ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak")
registration failure may, however, result in NETREG_UNREGISTERED
as well as NETREG_UNINITIALIZED.
This fix is similer to cebb69754f37 ("rtnetlink: Fix
memory(net_device) leak when ->newlink fails")
Fixes: cb626bf566eb ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak")
