Bug 2128511 is a result of a conflict that arises when upgrading on RHEL 7.x systems when the built-in geneve and vxlan kernel modules were in use before the upgrade but then the newer compat geneve and vxlan interfaces embedded in the openvswitch kernel module are used after the upgrade.
This patch fixes the problem by deleting the rtnetlink based geneve and vxlan interfaces before executing the kernel module reload.
