After introducing dedicated uplink representor, the netdev instance set over the esw manager vport (PF) became no longer in use, so it was removed in the cited commit once we're on switchdev mode. However, the mlx5e_detach function was not updated accordingly, and it still tries to detach a non-existing netdev, causing a kernel crash.
This patch fixes this issue.
