If the interfaces were removed just before a restart work was started, open_count will be 0, and most of the reconfig work will be skipped, including the resetting of local->in_reconfig to false. Leaving local->inconfig = true will result in dropping any incoming packet. Fix it by always setting local->in_reconfig = false (even if there are no active interfaces).
