The commit 984ff7a3e060 is an upstream backport. In fact, it depends on commit 395eea6ccf2b ("rtnetlink: delay RTM_DELLINK notification until after ndo_uninit()") which has not been backported in 3.18.y. Before commit 395eea6ccf2b, rollback_registered_many() uses rtmsg_ifinfo(). The call to this function is done with dev->reg_state set to NETREG_UNREGISTERING, thus testing this reg_state in rtmsg_ifinfo() is wrong. This patch partially reverts commit 984ff7a3e060.
