I think the root cause is we try to initialize ptr ring during TUNSETIFF
since the length depends on the dev->tx_queue_len and try to destroy it
when device is gone. We can solve this by initializing a zero size
ptr_ring during open() and resize if necessary. Then there no need for
any workaround like memset and checking against NULL.

Let me try to cook a patch for this.

Thanks
