ok, without attaching physical netdev to vxlan is not a big crime to
crash kernel safely every time. Could you please test this patch?

  properly

Even if user don't supply the physical netdev to attach vxlan dev
to, and at the same time user want to vxlan sit top of IPv6, mark
vxlan_dev flags with VXLAN_F_IPV6 to create IPv6 based socket,
otherwise kernel spit below messages, and host totally stuck!
