veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> The veth driver will oops if sysfs hooks are open while module is removed. The net device destructor can not point to code in a module; basically there are only two possible safe values: NULL - no destructor, or free_netdev - free on last use Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
