__vxlan_dev_create() destroys FDB using specific pointer which indicates a fdb when error occurs. But that pointer should not be used when register_netdevice() fails because register_netdevice() internally destroys fdb when error occurs.
In order to avoid un-registered dev's notification, fdb destroying routine checks dev's register status before notification.
