To unsubscribe from this list:
Unlike other parts of the mlx4_ib code, the function build_mlx_header()
doesn't check if the iboe netdev of the given port is valid before
derefering it, which can cause a crash if the ethernet interface has
already been taken down.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for a valid netdev point
