Intel Ice VF Null VSI Call Trace Vulnerability
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: Fix call trace with null VSI during VF reset During stress test with attaching and detaching VF from KVM and simultaneously changing VFs spoofcheck and trust there was a call trace in ice_reset_vf that VF's VSI is null.

There is no need for this warn because this piece of code is responsible for disabling VF's Tx/Rx queues when VF is disabled, but when VF is already removed there is no need to do reset or disable queues.
