macvlan: fix failure during registration v3
If macvlan_common_newlink fails in register_netdevice after macvlan_init then it decrements port->count twice, first in macvlan_uninit (from register_netdevice or rollback_registered) and then again in macvlan_common_newlink. A similar problem may exist in the ipvlan driver. This patch consolidates modifications to port->count into macvlan_init and macvlan_uninit (thanks to Eric Biederman for suggesting this approach). v3: remove macvtap specific bits.
