The fixes tag seems to be off by one? Wasn't the problem was introduced
by commit 221a9c1df790 ("net: netpoll: Individualize the skb pool") ?

Since __netpoll_setup() can be called by other drivers, shouldn't
we move refill in there? Since the pool is per np?

Optionally, could you extend the netcons tests to exercise netcons over
vlan? I think it should be able to trigger the crash you're fixing?
