If probe_common() then fails during restore, a later remove or freeze can dereference the dangling pointer. Clear vdev->priv on the probe_common() error cleanup path and before freeing the driver data in remove_common(). Also reset the device and return early from remove_common() if vdev->priv is already NULL for a safe teardown after a failed restore.
