net/core/dev.c netdev_wait_allrefs() states:

**
 * netdev_wait_allrefs - wait until all references are gone.
 * @dev: target net_device
 *
 * This is called when unregistering network devices.
 *
 * Any protocol or device that holds a reference should register
 * for netdevice notification, and cleanup and put back the
 * reference if they receive an UNREGISTER event.
 * We can get stuck here if buggy protocols don't correctly
 * call dev_put.
