This series fixes panics that occur after iavf_remove() is called.

The panics occur because the iavf_adapter structure is freed at the end
of iavf_remove(), but it is possible that new work has been scheduled using
the work_struct's contained within the iavf_adapter structure.  If this occurs, the system will panic when it later tries to process the work queue.

  iavf: Fix panic in iavf_remove
  iavf: Prevent reset from being scheduled while adapter is being
    removed
