Unslaving from a bridge causes a wrong RTM_DELLINK event for
the former slave.

Previously, during do_request_link() we would remember the link that is
about to be requested (delayed_deletion) and delay processing a new
RTM_DELLINK message until the end of do_request_link() -- and possibly
forget about about the deletion, if RTM_DELLINK was followed by a
RTM_NEWLINK.
However, this hack does not catch the case where an external command
unslaves the link.
Instead just accept the wrong event and raise a "removed" signal right
away. This brings the cache in an externally visible, wrong state that
will be fixed by a following "added" signal.
Still do that because working around the kernel bug is complicated. Also,
we already might emit wrong "added" signals for devices that are already
removed. As a consequence, a user should not consider the platform signals
until all events are processed.
Listeners to that signal should accept that added/removed link changes
can be wrong and should preferably handle them idly, when the events
have settled.
It can even be worse, that a RTM_DELLINK is not fixed by a following
RTM_NEWLINK:
...
# ip link set dummy0 nomaster
36: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master bridge0 state DOWN
link/ether e2:f2:20:98:3a:be brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
36: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state DOWN
link/ether e2:f2:20:98:3a:be
Deleted 36: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 master bridge0 state DOWN
link/ether e2:f2:20:98:3a:be
37: bridge0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
37: bridge0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN
link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
So, when a slave is deleted, we have to refetch it too.
