    veth: fix NULL dereference in veth_dellink()

    commit d0e2c55e7c940 (veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one)
    added another NULL deref in veth_dellink().

    # ip link add name veth1 type veth peer name veth0
    # rmmod veth

    We crash because veth_dellink() is called twice, so we must
    take care of NULL peer.
