When vrf's ->newlink is called, if register_netdevice() fails then it
does free_netdev(), but that's also done by rtnl_newlink() so a second
free happens and memory gets corrupted, to reproduce execute the
following line a couple of times (1 - 5 usually is enough):
$ for i in `seq 1 5`; do ip link add vrf: type vrf table 1; done;
This works because we fail in register_netdevice() because of the wrong
name "vrf:".
