Subject: net: dsa: Fix cleanup resources upon module removal
From: Neil Armstrong <narmstrong@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 04761890a7cec6a1ff9aafd909004da4fe8059db ]
The initial commit badly merged into the dsa_resume method instead
of the dsa_remove_dst method.
As consequence, the dst->master_netdev->dsa_ptr is not set to NULL on
removal and re-bind of the dsa device fails with error -17.
