> There is a gap in time between a VF reset, which sets the q_vector to NULL,
> and the VF requesting mapping of the q_vectors. If
> ice_vsi_stop_tx_rings() is called during this time, a NULL pointer dereference
> is encountered. Add a check in ice_vsi_stop_tx_rings() to ensure the
> q_vector is set to avoid this situation from occurring.
