Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] vxlan: Fix kernel crash on rmmod.

vxlan exit module unregisters vxlan net and then it unregisters
rtnl ops which triggers vxlan_dellink() from __rtnl_kill_links().
vxlan_dellink() deletes vxlan-dev from vxlan_list which has
list-head in vxlan-net-struct but that is already gone due to
net-unregister. That is how we are getting following crash.

Following commit fixes the crash by fixing module exit path.
