Subject: [Patch net-next] vxlan: do not use vxlan_net before checking event type

When cloning a netns, loopback device will be registered
and therefore an event will be notified. Of course
vxlan doesn't care about it, therefore should check if it
is NETDEV_UNREGISTER before getting the vxlan_net struct.
Otherwise, vxlan_net is probably not initialized yet at
this point.
