This looks good to me. It is the same as the backport "sit: fix use
after free of fb_tunnel_dev" (9434266f2c64), minus the small code
cleanup at the end of that patch that is not relevant to 3.10.27 (do
not define sit_net *sitn in sit_exit_net if it is not used there. But in
3.10.27 it is used, in unregister_netdevice_queue).
