sfc: Fix use-after-free due to selftest_work
[ Upstream commit a80bb8e7233b2ad6ff119646b6e33fb3edcec37b ]
There is a use-after-free scenario that is:
When the NIC is down, user set mac address or vlan tag to VF,
the xxx_set_vf_mac() or xxx_set_vf_vlan() will invoke efx_net_stop()
and efx_net_open(), since netif_running() is false, the port will not
start and keep port_enabled false, but selftest_work is scheduled
in efx_net_open().
If we remove the device before selftest_work run, the efx_stop_port()
will not be called since the NIC is down, and then efx is freed,
we will soon get a UAF in run_timer_softirq() like this:

If the NIC is not actually brought up, there is no need to schedule
selftest_work, so let's move invoking efx_selftest_async_start()
into efx_start_all(), and it will be canceled by broughting down.
