i40e: Fix reset path while removing the driver
commit 6533e558 upstream. Fix the crash in kernel while dereferencing the NULL pointer, when the driver is unloaded and simultaneously the VSI rings are being stopped. The hardware requires 50msec in order to finish RX queues disable. For this purpose the driver spins in mdelay function for the operation to be completed. For example changing number of queues which requires reset would fail in the following call stack: 1) i40e_prep_for_reset 2) i40e_pf_quiesce_all_vsi 3) i40e_quiesce_vsi 4) i40e_vsi_close 5) i40e_down 6) i40e_vsi_stop_rings 7) i40e_vsi_control_rx -> disable requires the delay of 50msecs 8) continue back in i40e_down function where i40e_clean_tx_ring(vsi->tx_rings[i]) is going to crash When the driver was spinning vsi_release called i40e_vsi_free_arrays where the vsi->tx_rings resources were freed and the pointer was set to NULL.
