[PATCH] rtnl: reset calcit fptr in rtnl_unregister()

From: Mathias Krause <hidden>

Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

To avoid having dangling function pointers left behind, reset calcit in
rtnl_unregister(), too.

This is no issue so far, as only the rtnl core registers a netlink
handler with a calcit hook which won't be unregistered, but may become
one if new code makes use of the calcit hook.
