Doesn't this patch introduce another bug when registration fails, because reg_state is left as
NETREG_REGISTERED?

Look at the old code again. This is not a new bug. The old code fails registration, does a printk, and then sets dev->reg_state = NETREG_REGISTERED. So this doesn't revoke my signed-off-by line.
