Linus Torvalds f87e6f4793 net: dont leave active on stack LIST_HEAD 
Eric W. Biderman and Michal Hocko reported various memory corruptions
that we suspected to be related to a LIST head located on stack, that
was manipulated after thread left function frame (and eventually exited,
so its stack was freed and reused).

Eric Dumazet suggested the problem was probably coming from commit
443457242b (net: factorize
sync-rcu call in unregister_netdevice_many)

This patch fixes __dev_close() and dev_close() to properly deinit their
respective LIST_HEAD(single) before exiting.
