 unbind_store+0x90/0x134

What happens is that devlink_port_unregister emits a netlink
DEVLINK_CMD_PORT_DEL message which associates the devlink port that is
getting unregistered with the ifindex of its corresponding net_device.
Only trouble is, the net_device has already been unregistered.

It looks like we can stub out the search for a corresponding net_device
if we clear the devlink_port's type. This looks like a bit of a hack,
but also seems to be the reason why the devlink_port_type_clear function
exists in the first place.
