Next during unload, the VF reps netdevs\nare unregistered which causes the original non-peer tc flow to be deleted,\nwhich deletes the peer flow. The peer flow deletion detaches the encap\nentry and try to take the already destroyed encap lock, causing the\nbelow trace.\n\nFix this by clearing peer flows during tc eswitch cleanup\n(mlx5e_tc_esw_cleanup()).\n\nRelevant trace:\n[ 4316.837128] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000001d8\n[ 4316.842239] RIP: 0010:__mutex_lock+0xb5/0xc40\n[ 4316.851897] Call Trace:\n[ 4316.852481]  <TASK>\n[ 4316.857214]  mlx5e_rep_neigh_entry_release+0x93/0x790 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.858258]  mlx5e_rep_encap_entry_detach+0xa7/0xf0 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.859134]  mlx5e_encap_dealloc+0xa3/0xf0 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.859867]  clean_encap_dests.part.0+0x5c/0xe0 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.860605]  mlx5e_tc_del_fdb_flow+0x32a/0x810 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.862609]  __mlx5e_tc_del_fdb_peer_flow+0x1a2/0x250 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.863394]  mlx5e_tc_del_flow+0x(/0x630 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.864090]  mlx5e_flow_put+0x5f/0x100 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.864771]  mlx5e_delete_flower+0x4de/0xa40 [mlx5_core]\n[ 4316.865486]  tc_setup_cb_reoffload+0x20/0x80\n[ 4316.865905]  fl_reoffload+0x47c/0x510 [cls_flower]\n[ 4316.869181]  tcf_block_playback_offloads+0x91/0x1d0\n[ 4316.869649]  tcf_block_unbind+0xe7/0x1b0\n[ 4316.870049]  tcf_block_offload_cmd.isra.0+0x1ee/0x270\n[ 4316.879266]  tcf_block_offload_unbind+0x61/0xa0\n[ 4316.879711]  __tcf_block_put+0xa4/0x310"
