Subject: [net] ixgbevf: Fix panic when loading driver
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>
This patch addresses a kernel panic seen when setting up the interface.
Specifically we see a NULL pointer dereference on the Tx descriptor cleanup
path when enabling interrupts. This change corrects that so it cannot
occur.
