Revert "veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor"
This reverts commit ae0e8e82205c903978a79ebf5e31c670b61fa5b4.
This change had two problems:
1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we
can OOPS in the transmit routine.
2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which
disagrees with how every other device operates.
Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn
and initial OOPS report by Sachin Sant.
