SubjectRe: net: kernel BUG() in net/netns/generic.h:45

We already synthesize events in register_netdevice_notifier and synthesizing
events in unregister_netdevice_notifier allows to us remove the need for
special case cleanup code.

This change should be trivially safe as it adds no new cases for
existing callers of unregister_netdevice_notifier to handle.
