On repeated module load/unload cycles, its possible for the pvrmda
driver to encounter this crash:

This occurs because vmw_pvrdma on probe stores a pointer to the netdev
that exists on function 0 of the same bus/device/slot (which represents
the vmxnet3 ethernet driver). However, it never removes this pointer if
the vmxnet3 module is removed, leading to crashes resulting from use
after free dereferencing incidents like the one above.
The fix is pretty straightforward. vmw_pvrdma should listen for
NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_UNREGISTER events in its event listener code
block, and update the stored netdev pointer accordingly. This solution
has been tested by myself and the reporter with successful results.
This fix also allows the pvrdma driver to find its underlying ethernet
device in the event that vmxnet3 is loaded after pvrdma, which it was
not able to do before.
