=====================================================================

The function in net core, register_netdevice(), may fail with vport's
destruction callback either invoked or not. After commit 309b6697


("net: openvswitch: do not free vport if register_netdevice() is failed."),
the duty to destroy vport is offloaded from the driver OTOH, which ends
up in the memory leak reported.

It is fixed by releasing vport unless device is registered successfully.
To do that, the callback assignment is defered until device is registered.
