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().

Patch 2 adds an early exit in mana_detach() for already-detached ports,
making it safe for non-close callers. This allows the queue reset
handler to safely retry mana_attach() without redundant teardown.

Changes in v2:
  - Patch 2: moved netif_device_present() check into mana_detach() as
    an early exit instead of using goto in the work handler 

Dipayaan Roy (2):
  net: mana: Add NULL guards in teardown path to prevent panic on attach
    failure
  net: mana: Skip redundant detach on already-detached port

When queue allocation fails partway through, the error cleanup frees
and NULLs apc->tx_qp and apc->rxqs. Multiple teardown paths such as
mana_remove(), mana_change_mtu() recovery, and internal error handling
in mana_alloc_queues() can subsequently call into functions that
dereference these pointers without NULL checks:

- mana_chn_setxdp() dereferences apc->rxqs[0], causing a NULL pointer
  dereference panic (CR2: 0000000000000000 at mana_chn_setxdp+0x26).
- mana_destroy_vport() iterates apc->rxqs without a NULL check.
- mana_fence_rqs() iterates apc->rxqs without a NULL check.
- mana_dealloc_queues() iterates apc->tx_qp without a NULL check.

Add NULL guards for apc->rxqs in mana_fence_rqs(),
mana_destroy_vport(), and before the mana_chn_setxdp() call. Add a
NULL guard for apc->tx_qp in mana_dealloc_queues() to skip TX queue
draining when TX queues were never allocated or already freed.

When mana_per_port_queue_reset_work_handler() runs after a previous
detach succeeded but attach failed, the port is left in a detached
state with apc->tx_qp and apc->rxqs already freed. Calling
mana_detach() again unconditionally leads to NULL pointer dereferences
during queue teardown.

Add an early exit in mana_detach() when the port is already in
detached state (!netif_device_present) for non-close callers, making
it safe to call idempotently. This allows the queue reset handler and
other recovery paths to simply retry mana_attach() without redundant
teardown.

Fixes: 3b194343c250 ("net: mana: Implement ndo_tx_timeout and serialize queue resets per port.")
