Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] IB/mlx4: Verify net device validity on port change event

From: Moni Shoua <monis@...lanox.com>

Processing an event is done in a different context from the one when
the event was dispatched. This requires a check that the slave
net device is still valid when the event is being processed. The check is done
under the iboe lock which ensure correctness.

Fixes: a57500903093 ('IB/mlx4: Add port aggregation support')
