When doing exit from a network namespace, cleanup functions are executed from
the function default_device_exit_batch.
In the macvlan device, this will generate a call to macvlan_dellink.
If it is the last macvlan using a ''lowerdev'' the port is
destroyed.

Later the a call to macvlan_stop is executed. when the macvlan_hash_del(vlan) is
executed, the memory of the already freed port will be corrupted.
