From: Ajay Kaher <akaher@xxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 375d6d454a95ebacb9c6eb0b715da05a4458ffef which is commit 07f12b26e21ab359261bf75cfcb424fdc7daeb6d upstream. Unnecessarily calling free_netdev() from sit_init_net(). ipip6_dev_free() of 4.9.y called free_netdev(), so no need to call again after ipip6_dev_free().
