tun: forbid iface creation with rtnl ops
It's not supported right now (the goal of the initial patch was to support 'ip link del' only). Before the patch: $ ip link add foo type tun [ 239.632660] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 [snip] [ 239.636410] RIP: 0010:register_netdevice+0x8e/0x3a0 This panic occurs because dev->netdev_ops is not set by tun_setup(). But to have something usable, it will require more than just setting netdev_ops. Fixes: f019a7a5 ("tun: Implement ip link del tunXXX") CC: Eric W.
