Hello,

I found a bug in the ifcvf driver.
When removing the module, I got the following warning:

[ 14.478123] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical
address 0xdffffc0000000005: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
[ 14.478701] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range

[ 14.479922] RIP: 0010:vdpa_mgmtdev_unregister+0x39/0x150

[ 14.484536] ifcvf_remove+0x3a/0x50 [ifcvf]
[ 14.484743] pci_device_remove+0x92/0x240

The reason is that the 'ifcvf_mgmt_dev' is zero which means that
ifcvf_vdpa_dev_add() was not executed.
Since I am not familiar with the driver, I cannot find a proper solution for it.
