4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Shiraz Saleem <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 871a8623d3b40221ad1103aff715dfee0aa4dacf ] Netdev notification events are de-registered only when all client iwdev instances are removed. If a single client is closed and re-opened, netdev events could arrive even before the Control Queue-Pair (CQP) is created, causing a NULL pointer dereference crash in i40iw_get_cqp_request. Fix this by allowing netdev event notification only after we have reached the INET_NOTIFIER state with respect to device initialization.
