Revert "veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor"
This reverts commit ae0e8e82205c903978a79ebf5e31c670b61fa5b4. This change had two problems: 1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we can OOPS in the transmit routine. 2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which disagrees with how every other device operates. Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn and initial OOPS report by Sachin Sant. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
