App start/stop callbacks can perform application initialization.
Unfortunately, flower app started using them for creating and
destroying representors. This can lead to a situation where
lower vNIC netdev is destroyed while representors still try
to pass traffic. This will most likely lead to a NULL-dereference
on the lower netdev TX path.
Move the start/stop callbacks, so that representors are created/
destroyed when vNICs are fully initialized.
Fixes: 5de73ee467 ("nfp: general representor implementation")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
