From: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit cbcca2e3961eac736566ac13ef0d0bf6f0b764ec ] Dan Carpenter points out that we have a code path that permits a NULL netdev pointer to be passed to netif_carrier_off(), which will cause a kernel oops. In any case, we need to set pl->old_link_state to false to have the desired effect when there is no netdev present.
