On an error path inside the hso_create_net_device function of the hso
driver, hso_free_net_device gets called. This causes a use-after-free
and a double-free if register_netdev has not been called yet as
hso_free_net_device calls unregister_netdev regardless. I think the
driver should distinguish these cases and call unregister_netdev only if
register_netdev has been called.

v2: format cleaned up based on feedback from previous review
    Forward to Greg to submit due to email problems on Tuba's side
