Recently syzkaller discovered the issue of disappearing lower
device (NETDEV_UNREGISTER) while the virtual device (like
macvlan) is still having it as a lower device. So it's just
a matter of time similar discovery will be made for IPvlan
device setup. So fixing it preemptively. Also while at it,
add a refcount tracker.
Fixes: 2ad7bf363841 ("ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
