Please merge this commit, a7023819404ac9bd2bb311a4fafd38515cfa71ec to stable v5.14.
`modprobe -r e1000e` triggers a null pointer dereference [1] after the the following two patches are applied to v5.4.y:
d635e7c4b34e6a630c7a1e8f1a8fd52c3e3ceea7 e1000e: Revert "e1000e: Make watchdog use delayed work"
21c6137939723ed6f5e4aec7882cdfc247304c27 e1000e: Drop unnecessary __E1000_DOWN bit twiddling
