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.

Remove WARN_ON() from check if VSI is null in ice_reset_vf.
Add "VF is already removed\n" in dev_dbg().

This WARN_ON() is unnecessary and causes call trace, despite that
call trace, driver still works. 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.
