tun: Fix device unregister race
It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice. This is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether __tun_get(tfile) != NULL. This however has nothing to do with whether the device has already been unregistered. All it tells you is whether __tun_detach has been called. This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test whether the device has been unregistered. It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing that it does requires that lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
