macvlan: Fix memleak on device removal/crash on module removal
As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the
module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer
on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL
pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is
valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries
to call the NULL hook and crashes.
Clean up the macvlan_port on the correct device to fix this.
