[ Upstream commit 6db9246871394b3a136cd52001a0763676563840 ]
When a failure occurs in rtnl_configure_link(), the current code calls unregister_netdevice() to roll back the earlier call to register_netdevice(), and jumps to errout, which calls vxlan_fdb_destroy().
However unregister_netdevice() calls transitively ndo_uninit, which is vxlan_uninit(), and that already takes care of deleting the default FDB entry by calling vxlan_fdb_delete_default(). Since the entry added earlier in __vxlan_dev_create() is exactly the default entry, the cleanup code in the errout block always leads to double free and thus a panic.
Besides, since vxlan_fdb_delete_default() always destroys the FDB entry with notification enabled, the deletion of the default entry is notified even before the addition was notified.
Instead, move the unregister_netdevice() call after the manual destroy, which solves both problems.
