Could you please use in-line patches? It's much easier to comment on.
Your patch description doesn't make sense. unregister_netdev()
cannot possibly cause the device to be freed. Otherwise the
subsequent free_netdev() call which you kept would be wrong.
So most likely what's happening is that free_netdev() is occuring
without a preceding unregister_netdev(), which implies that there
is a bug in the frontend state transition.
Cheers,
