Now that we have a proper ndo_uninit, move code that naturally pairs with the ndo_uninit into ndo_init. This allows the netdev core to natually handle ordering. This fixes the situation where register_netdev can fail before calling ndo_init, in which case it wouldn't call ndo_uninit either. Also move a bunch of duplicated init code that is shared between child and parent for clarity. Now the child and parent register functions look very similar.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
