In the scenario where the macvlan mode is configured as 'source',
macvlan_changelink_sources() will be execured to reconfigure list of
remote source mac addresses, at the same time, if register_netdevice()
return an error, the resource generated by macvlan_changelink_sources()
is not cleaned up.
Using this patch, in the case of an error, it will execute
macvlan_flush_sources() to ensure that the resource is cleaned up.
