Subject: [PATCH] veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor
The veth driver will oops if sysfs hooks are open while module is removed.
The net device destructor can not point to code in a module; basically
there are only two possible safe values: NULL - no destructor, or
free_netdev - free on last use
