From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx> commit cf5da330bbdd0c06b05c525a3d1d58ccd82c87a6 upstream. The function vxlan_dev_create() (only used by ovs) never calls rtnl_configure_link(). The consequence is that dev->rtnl_link_state is never set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED. During the deletion phase, the function rollback_registered_many() sends a RTM_DELLINK only if dev->rtnl_link_state is set to RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED. Note that the function vxlan_dev_create() is moved after the rtnl stuff so that vxlan_dellink() can be called in this function.
