tuntap: dont use a private kmem_cache
Commit 96442e42429 (tuntap: choose the txq based on rxq) added a per tun_struct kmem_cache. As soon as several tun_struct are used, we get an error because two caches cannot have same name. Use the default kmalloc()/kfree_rcu(), as it reduce code size and doesn't have performance impact here.
