This (mostly [*]) cosmetic patch spits the unlisting of the net device
from the unlisting of its node name. The two unlisting are still done
for now at the same places in the code, keeping the logic.

[*] The two removals are now not done in a single dev_base_lock locking
    section. That is not an issue as insertion/deletion from both lists
    doesn't have to be atomic from the dev_base_lock point of view.
