Subject: [net-next 14/17] i40e: warn on double free

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

Down was requesting queue disables, but then exited immediately without
waiting for the queues to actually disable. This could allow any
function called after i40evf_down to run immediately, including
i40evf_up, and causes a memory leak.

This issue has been fixed in a recent refactor of the reset code, but
add a couple WARN_ONs in the slow path to help us recognize if we
reintroduce this issue or if we missed any cases.
