net: caif: Fix use-after-free in cfusbldevicenotify()

syzbot reported use-after-free in cfusbldevicenotify() [1]. This causes a stack trace like below:

When unregistering a net device, unregisternetdevicemanynotify() sets the device's regstate to NETREGUNREGISTERING, calls notifiers with NETDEVUNREGISTER, and adds the device to the todo list.

Later on, devices in the todo list are processed by netdevruntodo(). netdevruntodo() waits devices' reference count become 1 while rebdoadcasting NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.

When cfusbldevicenotify() is called with NETDEVUNREGISTER multiple times, the parent device might be freed. This could cause UAF. Processing NETDEVUNREGISTER multiple times also causes inbalance of reference count for the module.

This patch fixes the issue by accepting only first NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.
