   Tun device was encapsulating the net_device in a private structure
   then doing:

   	unregister_netdev(&tun->dev);
   	kfree(tun);
   	rtnl_unlock();
   
   This breaks with the delayed cleanup now in the network core.
   Moving the kfree outside of the rtnl_unlock will fix it.
   
   Builds, but not sure how to use TUN to test it.
   
This seems to indeed fix the problem for people, applied thanks.
