CVE-2022-49626

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sfc: fix use after free when disabling sriov

Use after free is detected by kfence when disabling sriov. What was read
after being freed was vf->pci_dev: it was freed from pci_disable_sriov
and later read in efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vports, called from
efx_ef10_sriov_free_vf_vswitching.

Set the pointer to NULL at release time to not trying to read it later.

Reproducer and dmesg log (note that kfence doesn't detect it every time):
$ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/enp65s0f0np0/device/sriov_numvfs
$ echo 0 > /sys/class/net/enp65s0f0np0/device/sriov_numvfs
