idpf_idc_vport_dev_ctrl(adapter, false) clears vport->vdev_info->adev
to NULL but keeps vport->vdev_info itself. An MTU change after that
calls idpf_idc_vdev_mtu_event(), which dereferences vdev_info->adev for
device_lock() before reaching the (!adev || ...) check.

Cache vdev_info->adev once with READ_ONCE() and bail out if NULL before
locking. Use the cached pointer on both the lock and unlock paths so
the unlock matches the device actually acquired and cannot re-fetch a
NULL slot.

Fixes: ed6e1c8796a4 ("idpf: implement IDC vport aux driver MTU change handler")
