Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/mlx4_core: Fix reset flow when in command polling mode

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@....mellanox.co.il>

As part of unloading a device, the driver switches from
FW command event mode to FW command polling mode.

Part of switching over to polling mode is freeing the command context array
memory (unfortunately, currently, without NULLing the command context array
pointer).

The reset flow calls "complete" to complete all outstanding fw commands
(if we are in event mode). The check for event vs. polling mode here
is to test if the command context array pointer is NULL.

If the reset flow is activated after the switch to polling mode, it will
attempt (incorrectly) to complete all the commands in the context array --
because the pointer was not NULLed when the driver switched over to polling
mode.

As a result, we have a use-after-free situation, which results in a
kernel crash.

For example:

The fix is to set the command context array pointer to NULL after freeing
the array.
