I see the problem, it'd happen if the multicast stats memory allocation fails on bridge
init then the fdb added due to the default vlan would remain and the bridge kmem cache
would be destroyed while not empty (you can even trigger a BUG because of that).
I'll post a patch shortly after running a few tests.

Thanks,
 Nik
