Subject: [PATCH 5.10 487/717] nfp: move indirect block cleanup to flower app stop callback

From: Simon Horman <simon.horman@...ronome.com>

[ Upstream commit 5b33afee93a1e7665a5ffae027fc66f9376f4ea7 ]

The indirect block cleanup may cause control messages to be sent
if offloaded flows are present. However, by the time the flower app
cleanup callback is called txbufs are no longer available and attempts
to send control messages result in a NULL-pointer dereference in
nfp_ctrl_tx_one().

This problem may be resolved by moving the indirect block cleanup
to the stop callback, where txbufs are still available.

As suggested by Jakub Kicinski and Louis Peens.
