Subject: [net-next 10/15] e1000e: Modify Tx/Rx configurations to avoid null pointer dereferences in e1000_open

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@....com>

When e1000e_setup_rx_resources is failed in e1000_open,
e1000e_free_tx_resources in "err_setup_rx" segment is executed.
"writel(0, tx_ring->head)" statement in e1000_clean_tx_ring
in e1000e_free_tx_resources will cause a null poonter dereference(crash),
because "tx_ring->head" is only assigned in e1000_configure_tx
in e1000_configure, but it is after e1000e_setup_rx_resources.

This patch moves head/tail register writing to e1000_configure_tx/rx,
which can fix this problem. It is inspired by igb_configure_tx_ring
in the igb driver.

Specially, thank Alexander Duyck for his valuable suggestion.
