Subject: i40e: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i40e_dbg_dump_desc
From: Norbert Zulinski <norbertx.zulinski@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 23ec111bf3549aae37140330c31a16abfc172421 upstream.
When trying to dump VFs VSI RX/TX descriptors
using debugfs there was a crash
due to NULL pointer dereference in i40e_dbg_dump_desc.
Added a check to i40e_dbg_dump_desc that checks if
VSI type is correct for dumping RX/TX descriptors.
Fixes: 02e9c290814c ("i40e: debugfs interface")
