netvsc: uses RCU instead of removal flag
It is cleaner to use RCU protected pointer (nvdev_ctx->nvdev) to indicate device is in removed state, rather than having a separate boolean flag. By using the pointer the context can be checked by static checkers and dynamic lockdep. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
