From: Aya Levin <a...@mellanox.com> On failure to attach the netdev, fix the rollback by re-setting the device's state back to MLX5E_STATE_DESTROYING.
Failing to attach doesn't stop statistics polling via .ndo_get_stats64. In this case, although the device is not attached, it falsely continues to query the firmware for counters. Setting the device's state back to MLX5E_STATE_DESTROYING prevents the firmware counters query.
