net: deinit automatic LIST_HEAD

commit 9b5e383c

 (net: Introduce
unregister_netdevice_many()) left an active LIST_HEAD() in
rollback_registered(), with possible memory corruption.

Even if device is freed without touching its unreg_list (and therefore
touching the previous memory location holding LISTE_HEAD(single), better
close the bug for good, since its really subtle.

(Same fix for default_device_exit_batch() for completeness)
