From: qumingguang qumingguang@huawei.com

[ Upstream commit ae064e6123f89f90af7e4ea190cc0c612643ca93 ]

we should use free_irq to free the nic irq during the unloading time. because we use request_irq to apply it when nic up. It will crash if up net device after reset the port. This patch fixes the issue.
