Subject: [PATCH net] tuntap: correctly handle error in tun_set_iff()

Commit c8d68e6be1c3b242f1c598595830890b65cea64a (tuntap: multiqueue support)
only call free_netdev() on err in tun_set_iff(). This causes several issues:

- memory of tun security were leaked
- use after free since the flow gc timer was not deleted and the tfile were not
  detached

This patch solves the above issues.
