ipvlan: hold lower dev to avoid possible use-after-free
Recently syzkaller discovered the issue of disappearing lower device (NETDEV_UNREGISTER) while the virtual device (like macvlan) is still having it as a lower device. So it's just a matter of time similar discovery will be made for IPvlan device setup. So fixing it preemptively. Also while at it, add a refcount tracker.
