Subject[PATCH 4.18 30/35] hv/netvsc: Fix NULL dereference at single queue mode fallback
Date
4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

[ Upstream commit b19b46346f483ae055fa027cb2d5c2ca91484b91 ]

The recent commit 916c5e1413be ("hv/netvsc: fix handling of fallback
to single queue mode") tried to fix the fallback behavior to a single
queue mode, but it changed the function to return zero incorrectly,
while the function should return an object pointer. Eventually this
leads to a NULL dereference at the callers that expect non-NULL
value.

Fix it by returning the proper net_device object.
