[PATCH net-next] ipv6: remove extra dev_hold() for fallback tunnels

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

My previous commits added a dev_hold() in tunnels ndo_init(),
but forgot to remove it from special functions setting up fallback tunnels.

Fallback tunnels do call their respective ndo_init()

This leads to various reports like :

unregister_netdevice: waiting for ip6gre0 to become free. Usage count = 2

Fixes: 48bb5697269a ("ip6_tunnel: sit: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
Fixes: 6289a98f0817 ("sit: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
Fixes: 40cb881b5aaa ("ip6_vti: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
Fixes: 7f700334be9a ("ip6_gre: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
