At the time of do_rest, ibmvnic tries to re-initalize the tx_pools and rx_pools to avoid re-allocating the long term buffer. However there is a window inside do_reset that the tx_pools and rx_pools were freed before re-initialized making it possible to deference null pointers. This patch fix this issue by always check the tx_pool and rx_pool are not NULL after ibmvnic_login. If so, re-allocating the pools. This will avoid getting into calling reset_tx/rx_pools with NULL adapter tx_pools/rx_pools pointer. Also add null pointer check in reset_tx_pools and reset_rx_pools to safe handle NULL pointer case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
