[ 225.198693] RIP: 0033:0x7f7ae38ac3aa igc_ethtool_set_ringparam() copies the igc_ring structure but neglects to
reset the xdp_rxq_info member before calling igc_setup_rx_resources().
This in turn calls xdp_rxq_info_reg() with an already registered xdp_rxq_info. Make sure to unregister the xdp_rxq_info structure first in
igc_setup_rx_resources.
