    When attempting to free lwtunnel state after the module for the encap
    has been unloaded an oops occurs:

    The problem is after the module for the encap can be unloaded the
    corresponding ops is removed and is thus NULL here.
    
    Modules implementing lwtunnel ops should not be allowed to unload
    while there is state alive using those ops, so grab the module
    reference for the ops on creating lwtunnel state and of course release
    the reference when freeing the state.
