From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e5f6f564fd191d365fcd775c06a732a488205588 upstream. Add a missing synchronize_net() call to avoid potential use after free, since we explicitly call napi_hash_del() to factorize the RCU grace period. Fixes: c0c050c58d84 ("bnxt_en: New Broadcom ethernet driver.")
