[Bug 1802341] [NEW] crash in ENA driver on removing an interface

Public bug reported:

Bug present in ENA since driver version 1.6; manifests as a crash only
under some conditions.

In ena_remove() we have the following stack call:
ena_remove()
unregister_netdev()
ena_destroy_device()
netif_carrier_off()

Calling netif_carrier_off() causes linkwatch to try to handle the
link change event on the already unregistered netdev, which leads
to a read from an unreadable memory address.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided

Status: In Progress
