netpoll: fix NULL pointer dereference in netpoll_cleanup
I've been hitting a NULL ptr deref while using netconsole because the
np->dev check and the pointer manipulation in netpoll_cleanup are done
without rtnl and the following sequence happens when having a netconsole
over a vlan and we remove the vlan while disabling the netconsole:
CPU 1 CPU2
removes vlan and calls the notifier
enters store_enabled(), calls
netdev_cleanup which checks np->dev
and then waits for rtnl
executes the netconsole netdev
release notifier making np->dev
== NULL and releases rtnl
continues to dereference a member of
np->dev which at this point is == NULL
