Thanks for your reply. Actually, the patch is a cleanup as you said.
In vxlan_destroy_tunnels func, unregister_netdevice_queue is called after
gro_cells_destroy
func. However, in unregister_netdevice_queue func, the gro_cells_destroy func
will also call
the gro_cells_destroy func as the following routine:
unregister_netdevice_many -> rollback_registered_many -> ndo_uninit ->
gro_cells_destroy
Fortunately, gro_cells_destroy func will check whether gcells->cells is NULL,
so even more than
one call gro_cells_destroy would not cause the memory twice-free problem.

As you said, this is just a cleanup. I will remove the Fixes tag in v2 patch.
I used the ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl to get the maintainers and mail-list,
and the return is
given as follows,
