    i40e: Fix freeing of uninitialized misc IRQ vector

    When VSI set up failed in i40e_probe() as part of PF switch set up
    driver was trying to free misc IRQ vectors in
    i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme and produced a kernel Oops:

       Trying to free already-free IRQ 266

       ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x40

    The problem is that at that point misc IRQ vectors
    were not allocated yet and we get a call trace
    that driver is trying to free already free IRQ vectors.

    Add a check in i40e_clear_interrupt_scheme for __I40E_MISC_IRQ_REQUESTED
    PF state before calling i40e_free_misc_vector. This state is set only if
    misc IRQ vectors were properly initialized.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
