-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Marc Pignat <marc.pignat@hevs.ch>
patch e0579d576cb894a4cf3c5af04fbf38e8c1281738 in mainline.
The disconnect function can dereference the net_device structure when it
is never allocated. This is the case when ejecting the device installer.
