From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
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.")
