Subject: [Patch net v2] tun: fix a memory leak for tfile->tx_array

tfile->tun could be detached before we close the tun fd,
via tun_detach_all(), so it should not be used to check for
tfile->tx_array.

As Jason suggested, we probably have to clean it up
unconditionally, but this requires to check if it is initialized
or not. Currently skb_array_cleanup() doesn't have such a check,
so I check it in the caller, it is ugly but we can always
improve it in net-next.
