rtnl ops where introduced by ba3e3f50a0e5 ("sit: advertise tunnel param
via
rtnl"), but I forget to assign rtnl ops to fb tunnels.
Now that it is done, we must remove the explicit call to
unregister_netdevice_queue(), because the fallback tunnel is added to
the queue
in sit_destroy_tunnels() when checking rtnl_link_ops of all netdevices
(this
is valid since commit 5e6700b3bf98 ("sit: add support of x-netns")).

Applied and queued up for -stable.
But I imagine since the x-netns changes aren't in various -stable
branches this will need to be adjusted a bit?
Yes, it's what I've tried to say in the commit log ;-)
In fact, before the x-netns changes, we must keep the
unregister_netdevice_queue() line.
In 3.11 linux-stable, this patch was merged between 3.11.4 and 3.11.5
in commit 3783100, after the x-netns changes in commit 5e6700b3bf, but
the unregister_netdevice_queue was kept.
I think that caused the following bug. In 3.11.6, a simple `modprobe
sit && rmmod sit` hits the BUG at net/core/dev.c:5039:
BUG_ON(dev->reg_state != NETREG_REGISTERED);
The device is actually NETREG_RELEASED at one point because the device
is now unregistered twice. The issue goes away by porting the
remainder of the original commit: the one liner that removes the call
to unregister_netdevice_queue.

If correct, let me know if I should send a proper one-line patch
against 3.11.y. Since I haven't looked at this code before, I found it
safer to report the issue first.
Yes, this line should be removed, like it was done in the original patch
(x-netns for sit is part of 3.11).
5e6700b3bf was not applied to 3.10 stable, so that branch is not affected.
Right.
