I find such wrappers around rcu obscure this,
already sufficiently complex, pattern.

This seems to keep reference to device as long as character device is
open, which, if I understand correctly, will start printing error
messages to kernel log about once a second if you try to remove the
device.
I suspect the best way to fix this issue would be to use some kind
of notifier so that macvtap can disconnect on device removal.

I am surprised there's no GSO support. Would it be a good idea to share
code with tun driver? That already has GSO ...
Also, network header pointer seems off for vlan packets?

All of these seem to be stubs, and tun has many more that you didn't
