There is a check for NULL at the start of create_txqs() and create_rxqs() which tess if "nic_dev->txqs" is non-NULL. The intention is that if the device is already open and the queues are already created then we don't create them a second time. However, the bug is that if we have an error in the create_txqs() then the pointer doesn't get set back to NULL. The NULL check at the start of the function will say that it's already open when it's not and the device can't be used. Set ->txqs back to NULL on cleanup on error.
