Subject: [Patch net] vti: remove duplicated code to fix a memory leak

From: Cong Wang <amwang@...hat.com>

vti module allocates dev->tstats twice: in vti_fb_tunnel_init()
and in vti_tunnel_init(), this lead to a memory leak of 
dev->tstats.

Just remove the duplicated operations in vti_fb_tunnel_init().

(candidate for -stable)
