tun: Fix device unregister race
It is currently possible for an asynchronous device unregister
to cause the same tun device to be unregistered twice. This
is because the unregister in tun_chr_close only checks whether
__tun_get(tfile) != NULL. This however has nothing to do with
whether the device has already been unregistered. All it tells
you is whether __tun_detach has been called.
This patch fixes this by using the most obvious thing to test
whether the device has been unregistered.
It also moves __tun_detach outside of rtnl_unlock since nothing
that it does requires that lock.
