Commit 443457242beb (factorize sync-rcu call in
unregister_netdevice_many) mistakenly removed one test from dev_close()

Following actions trigger a BUG :

modprobe bonding
modprobe dummy
ifconfig bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 dummy0
rmmod dummy

dev_close() must not close a non IFF_UP device.

With help from Frank Blaschka and Einar EL Lueck
