When mana_attach() fails (e.g. during queue allocation), the error
cleanup frees apc->tx_qp and apc->rxqs and sets them to NULL. Multiple
subsequent teardown paths can then dereference these NULL pointers,
causing kernel panics.

Patch 1 adds NULL guards in the low-level teardown functions
(mana_fence_rqs, mana_destroy_vport, mana_dealloc_queues) so they are
safe to call regardless of queue initialization state. This covers all
callers: mana_remove(), mana_change_mtu() recovery, and internal error
paths in mana_alloc_queues().

Here is the summary with links:
  - [net,v3,1/2] net: mana: Add NULL guards in teardown path to prevent panic on attach failure

  - [net,v3,2/2] net: mana: Skip redundant detach on already-detached port

You are awesome, thank you!
