net: dsa: microchip: Added the condition for scheduling ksz_mib_read_work
When the ksz module is installed and removed using rmmod, kernel crashes
with null pointer dereferrence error. During rmmod, ksz_switch_remove
function tries to cancel the mib_read_workqueue using
cancel_delayed_work_sync routine and unregister switch from dsa.
During dsa_unregister_switch it calls ksz_mac_link_down, which in turn
reschedules the workqueue since mib_interval is non-zero.
Due to which queue executed after mib_interval and it tries to access
dp->slave. But the slave is unregistered in the ksz_switch_remove
function. Hence kernel crashes.
To avoid this crash, before canceling the workqueue, resetted the
mib_interval to 0.
v1 -> v2:
-Removed the if condition in ksz_mib_read_work
Fixes: 469b390e1ba3 ("net: dsa: microchip: use delayed_work instead of timer + work")
