Sorry, I misunderstand the usage of netdev_hold and its netdevice_tracker.

I thought this tracker was simple enough, so I just added an additional netdev_hold
in the same postion and test if there is a warning "unregister_netdevice: waiting for ...".

But as you said, we need a separate netdevice_tracker per netdev_hold(), and specially `per dev`?

Actually, I'm still a little confused.

For example, here, can I move this netdevice_tracker into struct sk_buff ?
