Revert "veth: prevent oops caused by netdev destructor"

This reverts commit ae0e8e82205c903978a79ebf5e31c670b61fa5b4.

This change had two problems:

1) Since it frees the stats in the drivers' close method, we
   can OOPS in the transmit routine.

2) stats are no longer remembered across ifdown/ifup which
   disagrees with how every other device operates.

Thanks to analysis and test patch from Serge E. Hallyn
and initial OOPS report by Sachin Sant.
