Subject: vxlan: fix oops when delete netns containing vxlan
From: Zang MingJie <zealot0630@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9cb6cb7ed11cd3b69c47bb414983603a6ff20b1d ]
The following script will produce a kernel oops:
sudo ip netns add v
sudo ip netns exec v ip ad add 127.0.0.1/8 dev lo
sudo ip netns exec v ip link set lo up
sudo ip netns exec v ip ro add 224.0.0.0/4 dev lo
sudo ip netns exec v ip li add vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 group 239.1.1.1 dev lo
sudo ip netns exec v ip link set vxlan0 up
sudo ip netns del v
where inspect by gdb:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

The kernel calls `vxlan_exit_net` when deleting the netns before shutting down
vxlan interfaces. Later the removal of all vxlan interfaces, where `vn->sock`
is already gone causes the oops. so we should manually shutdown all interfaces
before deleting `vn->sock` as the patch does.
