Two conditions I think this can happen:

1) a buggy userspace disable a queue through TUNSETQUEUE
2) the net device were gone

For 1, looks like we can delay the disabling until the refcnt goes to
zero. For 2 may needs more changes. Not sure it's worth to do this work,
maybe a warning is enough just like other failure.
