vti module allocates dev->tstats twice: in vti_fb_tunnel_init()
and in vti_tunnel_init(), this lead to a memory leak of 
dev->tstats.

Just remove the duplicated operations in vti_fb_tunnel_init().

(candidate for -stable)

The fix looks correct, looks like an oversight when the generic tunnel infratructure
was added.

Yeah, I am trying to switch vti tunnel using generic tunnel code.

Thanks!
