Lorenzo Bianconi 2ec1ed2aa6 net: thunderx: fix NULL pointer dereference in nicvf_open/nicvf_stop
When a bpf program is uploaded, the driver computes the number of
xdp tx queues resulting in the allocation of additional qsets.
Starting from commit '2ecbe4f4a027 ("net: thunderx: replace global
nicvf_rx_mode_wq work queue for all VFs to private for each of them")'
the driver runs link state polling for each VF resulting in the
following NULL pointer dereference:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
