I think this needs to move after the call_rcu. Otherwise, module
unload could proceed (no more ref on the last ovpn netdevice), not see
any pending work in the final rcu_barrier of ovpn_cleanup, and finish
unloading. Then when ovpn_peer_release_rcu gets called, it's not there
anymore.
+	call_rcu(&peer->rcu, ovpn_peer_release_rcu);
