After introducing dedicated uplink representor, the netdev instance set over the esw manager vport (PF) became no longer in use, so it was removed in the cited commit once we're on switchdev mode. However, the mlx5e_detach function was not updated accordingly, and it still tries to detach a non-existing netdev, causing a kernel crash. This patch fixes this issue.

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.
