=======================================================================
veth_rq allocated in veth_newlink() was not freed on dellink.
We need to free up them after veth_close() so that any packets will not
reference the queues afterwards. Thus free them in veth_dev_free() in
the same way as freeing stats structure (vstats).
Also move queues allocation to veth_dev_init() to be in line with stats
allocation.
Fixes: 638264dc90 ("veth: Support per queue XDP ring")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
