4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pavel Fedin <p.fe...@samsung.com>
[ Upstream commit 7750130d93decff06120df0d8ea024ff8a038a21 ]
In some cases the crash is caused by nicvf_remove() being called from
outside. For example, if we try to feed the device to vfio after the
probe has failed for some reason. So, move the check to better place.
