[PATCH] xen-netfront: avoid crashing on resume after a failure in talk_to_netback()

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

Unavoidable crashes in netfront_resume() and netback_changed() after a
previous fail in talk_to_netback() (e.g. when we fail to read MAC from
xenstore) were discovered. The failure path in talk_to_netback() does
unregister/free for netdev but we don't reset drvdata and we try accessing
it again after resume.

Reset drvdata in netback_changed() the same way we reset it in
netfront_probe() and check for NULL in both netfront_resume() and
netback_changed() to properly handle the situation.

I apologize for sending this during the merge window, I'm not sure if this
needs to go through xen or netdev tree. I think the fix is simple enough
and it would make sense to squeeze it in 4.12 if possible. Thanks.
