Sprinkle for each loops to allow netdevices to be unregistered

This prevents problems caused by dependencies between netdevs
which want to release references in their ->priv_destructor.
See commit d6ff94afd90b ("vlan: move dev_put into vlan_dev_uninit")
for example.
Eric has removed the only known ordering requirement in
commit c002496babfd ("Merge branch 'ipv6-loopback'")
so let's try this and see if anything explodes...
