ixgbe: Fix use after free on module remove
While testing the TCP changes I had to fix an issue in order to be able to load and unload the module. The recent patch that added thermal sensor support added a use after free bug on module unload with an 82598 adapter in the system. To resolve the issue I have updated the code so that when we free the info_kobj we set it back to NULL. I suspect there are likely other bugs present, but I will leave that for another patch that can undergo more testing. I am submitting this directly to net-next since this fixes a fairly serious bug that will lock up the ixgbe module until the system is rebooted.
