That's a good optimization to add. I was mostly focusing on the device
unregister path.

Same here, I can add this optimization. I think it is fine to call the
BATCH notifiers
for every interface. It is just better to do it for many interfaces at
the same time.

The call to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH is actually after NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
it seems the other way around in the patch because it is showing part
of netdev_wait_allrefs
and not rollback_registered_may.
