Subject: [net V2 13/14] net/mlx5e: Check netdev pointer before checking its net ns

From: Gavin Li <gavinl@...dia.com>

Previously, when comparing the net namespaces, the case where the netdev
doesn't exist wasn't taken into account, and therefore can cause a crash.
In such a case, the comparing function should return false, as there is no
netdev->net to compare the devlink->net to.

Furthermore, this will result in an attempt to enter switchdev mode
without a netdev to fail, and which is the desired result as there is no
meaning in switchdev mode without a net device.

Fixes: 662404b24a4c ("net/mlx5e: Block entering switchdev mode with ns inconsistency")
