The combination of two commits:
commit 8e4e1713
("openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.")
commit 2537b4dd


("openvswitch:: link upper device for port devices")

introduced a bug where upper_dev wasn't unlinked upon
netdev_unregister notification

The following steps:

  modprobe openvswitch
  ovs-dpctl add-dp test
  ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap

are causing multiple warnings:

[   62.769724] device tap1 left promiscuous mode

This patch also affects moving devices between net namespaces.

OVS used to ignore netns move notifications which caused problems.
Like:
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip link set tap1 netns 3512
and then removing tap1 inside the namespace will cause hang on missing dev_put.

With this patch OVS will detach dev upon receiving netns move event.
