i40e: Fix NULL ptr dereference on VSI filter sync
[ Upstream commit 37d9e304acd903a445df8208b8a13d707902dea6 ]
Remove the reason of null pointer dereference in sync VSI filters.
Added new I40E_VSI_RELEASING flag to signalize deleting and releasing
of VSI resources to sync this thread with sync filters subtask.
Without this patch it is possible to start update the VSI filter list
after VSI is removed, that's causing a kernel oops.
