  Yes, I've added a check in vmxnet3_deactivate_device() to avoid double free. 
Please see below an updated patch.

Subject: [PATCH] net: vmxnet3: avoid memory leakage in activate_device

Vmxnet3 device emulator does not check if the device is active
before activating it, also it did not free the transmit & receive
buffers while deactivating the device, thus resulting in memory
leakage on the host. This patch fixes both these issues to avoid
host memory leakage.
