From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a09c0fc3f5d775231f1884e0e66c495065a461ee ] We call pci_set_drvdata immediately after calling register_netdev, which leaves a window where tasks writing to the sriov_numvfs sysfs attribute can sneak in and crash the kernel. register_netdev cleans up after itself so placing pci_set_drvdata immediately before it should preserve the intent of commit 0fb6a55cc31f ("ixgbe: fix crash on rmmod after probe fail").
