Currently, the ibmvnic driver will not schedule device resets if the device is being removed, but does not check the device state before the reset is actually processed. This leads to a race where a reset is scheduled with a valid device state but is processed after the driver has been removed, resulting in an oops. Fix this by checking the device state before processing a queued reset event.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
