macvtap: Rewrite macvtap_newlink so the error handling works.
Place macvlan_common_newlink at the end of macvtap_newlink because
failing in newlink after registering your network device is not
supported.
Move device_create into a netdevice creation notifier. The network device
notifier is the only hook that is called after the network device has been
registered with the device layer and before register_network_device returns
success.
