The upstream commit bb8140947a24 ("ip6tnl: allow to use rtnl ops on fb tunnel")
(backported into linux-3.10.y) left a bug which was fixed upstream by commit
1e9f3d6f1c40 ("ip6tnl: fix use after free of fb_tnl_dev").

The problem is a bit different in linux-3.10.y, because there is no x-netns
support (upstream commit 0bd8762824e7 ("ip6tnl: add x-netns support")).
When ip6_tunnel.ko is unloaded, FB device is deleted by rtnl_link_unregister()
and then we try to delete it again in ip6_tnl_destroy_tunnels().

This patch removes the second deletion.

Greg please queue this up for 3.10 -stable if you haven't already.

As I'm picking the networking patches into the 3.11 kernel as well, I
believe this fix is also applicable. I'm queuing it for the 3.11 kernel.
Yes, I agree.

Nicolas
