Cool :)

hlist_del_init_rcu does nothing if node is not already on a list.

I'm probably missing something about how this all fits together. In
patch 19, I see ovpn_nl_set_peer_doit can re-add a peer that is
already added (but I'm not sure why, since you don't allow changing
the addresses, so it won't actually be re-hashed).
I don't think doing a 2nd add of the same element to peers.by_id (or
any of the other hashtables) is correct, so I'd say you need
hlist_del_init_rcu for all of them.
