  - idpf: Fix RSS LUT NULL pointer crash on early ethtool operations The RSS LUT is not initialized until the     interface comes up, causing the following NULL pointer crash when ethtool operations like rxhash on/off     are performed before the interface is brought up for the first time. Move RSS LUT initialization from     ndo_open to vport creation to ensure LUT is always available. This enables RSS configuration via ethtool     before bringing the interface up. Simplify LUT management by maintaining all changes in the driver's soft     copy and programming zeros to the indirection table when rxhash is disabled. Defer HW programming until     the interface comes up if it is down during rxhash and LUT configuration changes. Steps to reproduce: **     Load idpf driver; interfaces will be created modprobe idpf ** Before bringing the interfaces up, turn     rxhash off ethtool -K eth2 rxhash off [89408.371875] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address:
