Subject: [PATCH 4.14 107/496] ibmvnic: Check for NULL skbs in NAPI poll routine

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit abe27a885d9e6575e663a16176dabc58ce9d7188 ]

After introduction of commit d0869c0071e4, there were some instances of
RX queue entries from a previous session (before the device was closed
and reopened) returned to the NAPI polling routine. Since the corresponding
socket buffers were freed, this resulted in a panic on reopen. Include
a check for a NULL skb here to avoid this.

Fixes: d0869c0071e4 ("ibmvnic: Clean RX pool buffers during device close")
