[IPX]: Fix NULL pointer dereference on ipx unload
Fixes a null pointer dereference when unloading the ipx module. On initialization of the ipx module, registering certain packet types can fail. When this happens, unloading the module later dereferences NULL pointers. This patch fixes that. Please apply. Signed-off-by: Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.
