From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@foxmail.com>

The ip_tunnel allocates some resources in its ndo_init func, and
free some of them in its destructor func. Then there is one memleak
that some errors happen after register_netdevice invokes the ndo_init
callback. Because only the ndo_uninit callback is invoked in the error
handler of register_netdevice, but destructor not.

Now create one new func ip_tunnel_destructor_free to free the mem in
the destructor, and ndo_uninit func also invokes it when fail to
register the ip_tunnel device.

It's not only free all resources, but also follow the original desgin
that the resources are freed in the destructor normally after
register the device successfully.

 v3: Split one patch to multiple commits, per David Ahern
