Subject: [PATCH 3.16 169/366] net/xen-netfront: only clean up queues if
 present

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Chas Williams <3chas3@...il.com>

commit 9a873c71e91cabf4c10fd9bbd8358c22deaf6c9e upstream.

If you simply load and unload the module without starting the interfaces,
the queues are never created and you get a bad pointer dereference.
