[PATCH net v2 2/4] ovs/vxlan: fix rtnl notifications on iface deletion

[Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com>]

The function vxlan_dev_create() (only used by ovs) never calls
rtnl_configure_link(). The consequence is that dev->rtnl_link_state is
never set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED.
During the deletion phase, the function rollback_registered_many() sends
a RTM_DELLINK only if dev->rtnl_link_state is set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED.

Note that the function vxlan_dev_create() is moved after the rtnl stuff so
that vxlan_dellink() can be called in this function.

Fixes: dcc38c033b32 ("openvswitch: Re-add CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN")
