[PATCH v2 2/6] net: dsa: Do not reschedule polling if driver removed

[Neil Armstrong]

Do not reschedule the delayed work used for polling when
the driver is removed, by testing the 'poll_link_needed'
flag.
Avoids this crash:
 dsa dsa ethmv2 (unregistering): Link is Down
 device eth1 left promiscuous mode
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bacc5cf6
