Subject: ibmvnic: check failover_pending in login response
From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 273c29e944bda9a20a30c26cfc34c9a3f363280b upstream.
If a failover occurs before a login response is received, the login
response buffer maybe undefined. Check that there was no failover
before accessing the login response buffer.
Fixes: 032c5e82847a ("Driver for IBM System i/p VNIC protocol")
