veth: fix dev refcount race
When deleting the veth driver, veth_close calls netif_carrier_off
for the two extremities of the network device. netif_carrier_off on
the peer device will fire an event and hold a reference on the peer
device. Just after, the peer is unregistered taking the rtnl_lock while
the linkwatch_event is scheduled. If __linkwatch_run_queue does not
occurs before the unregistering, unregister_netdevice will wait for
the dev refcount to reach zero holding the rtnl_lock and linkwatch_event
will wait for the rtnl_lock and hold the dev refcount.
