Subject: [PATCH v3 net 4/5] vxlan: fix crash from work pending on module
 removal

Switch to using a per module work queue so that all the socket
deletion callbacks are done when module is removed.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

v3 - get rid of destroy_workqueue that snuck in from later patch

Only impacts -net and later; del_work was first introduced 3.10
