3.19.8-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Couzens <lynxis at fe80.eu>

[ Upstream commit 06a15f51cf3618e32a73871ee6a547ef7fd902b5 ]

There is a small chance that tunnel_free() is called before tunnel->del_work scheduled
resulting in a zero pointer dereference.
