Nicolas Dichtel says:

====================
ovs: fix rtnl notifications on interface deletion

There was no rtnl notifications for interfaces (gre, vxlan, geneve) created
by ovs. This problem is fixed by adjusting the creation path.

v1 -> v2:
 - add patch #1 and #4
 - rework error handling in patch #2
====================
