Subject: [patch 4/5] qeth: Fix crash on initial MTU size change

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 13:21:51 +0200

From: Stefan Raspl <[email-masked]>

When the initial MTU size is changed prior to any activity on the device
(e.g. by attaching a z/VM vNIC already configured in Linux to a guestLAN),
we call dev_kfree_skb_irq(NULL) which results in a kernel panic.
Adding a proper check for NULL pointers to address this issue.
