the issue do not exist in ip6_vti. cause vti6_init_net() complete the
device ip6_vti0 initialization,
 in which dev->rtnl_link_ops never be pointed.  so the ip6_vti0's
rtnl_link_ops is null, which lead
 to the  dellink() will never be invoked in rtnl_dellink():

        if (!ops || !ops->dellink)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;

        ops->dellink(dev, &list_kill);
        unregister_netdevice_many(&list_kill);

instead, "ip link del ip6_vti0" wil return:
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

if this patch for ip6 is to be consistent with ipv4 vti. I suggest we
should also add the below code
to init ip6_vti0's rtnl_link_ops when the ip6_vti0 is inited:
