3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Marek Roszko <mark.roszko@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0cc7c6c7916b1b6f34350ff1473b80b9f7e459c0 upstream.
Interrupts were being cleaned up late in the shutdown handler, it is possible
that an interrupt can occur and schedule a tasklet that runs after the port is
cleaned up. There is a null dereference due to this race condition with the
following stacktrace:
