Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] net: dsa: Do not reschedule polling if driver removed

From: Neil Armstrong <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2015 14:22:49 +0100

Do not reschedule the delayed work used for polling when
the driver is removed, by testing the 'poll_link_needed'
flag.
Avoids this crash:
 dsa dsa ethmv2 (unregistering): Link is Down
 device eth1 left promiscuous mode
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bacc5cf6
 ...
