Subject: ibmvnic: Disable irq prior to close

From: Brian King <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit dd9c20fa07ba5cfb5a0ab3181d68530506610605 ]

    Add some code to call disable_irq on all the vnic interface's irqs.
    This fixes a crash observed when closing an active interface, as
    seen in the oops below when we try to access a buffer in the interrupt
    handler which we've already freed.

    Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000001
    Faulting instruction address: 0xd000000003886824
    Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
