net: correct error path in rtnl_newlink()
I saw the following BUG when ->newlink() fails in rtnl_newlink(): [ 40.240058] kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:6438! this is due to free_netdev() is not supposed to be called before netdev is completely unregistered, therefore it is not correct to call free_netdev() here, at least for ops->newlink!=NULL case, many drivers call it in ->destructor so that rtnl_unlock() will take care of it, we probably don't need to do anything here.
