Subject: vti: remove duplicated code to fix a memory leak
From: Cong Wang <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit ab6c7a0a43c2eaafa57583822b619b22637b49c7 ]
vti module allocates dev->tstats twice: in vti_fb_tunnel_init()
and in vti_tunnel_init(), this lead to a memory leak of
dev->tstats.
Just remove the duplicated operations in vti_fb_tunnel_init().
(candidate for -stable)
