I'm seeing the splat below after this series.  I'm still wrapping my
head around this code, but it appears to be happening because the
tun_struct passed into tun_queue_resize is uninitialized.
Specifically, iteration over the disabled list_head fails because prev
= next = NULL.  This seems to happen when a startup script on my test
machine changes the queue length.  I'll try to figure out what's
happening, but if it's obvious to someone else from the stack, please
let me know.
