When a parent macvlan device is destroyed we end up purging its
broadcast queue without dropping the device reference count on
the packet source device.  This causes the source device to linger.

This patch drops that reference count.

Herbert and David,
Glad to report that we had 10 iterations of the test that was showing 100% failure with Herbert's changes, and we have not seen any failures. The fix is good.
Thanks for the help.
Joe
