Subject: TUN device performance regression

Hello,

I've noticed significant TUN device performance drop between 3.13 and
3.14 kernels, problem seems to persist until current git version.

With good kernel I can achieve full 100mbps through openvpn without any
problem, with problematic kernel TX performance drops down to ~50kbps.

According to git bisect it seems that root of all evil is commit
53d6471cef17262d3ad1c7ce8982a234244f68ec.

I can confirm that performance is great again with current kernel when I
revert this one.
