The cited commit moved from using reformat_id integer to packet_reformat
pointer which introduced the possibility to null pointer dereference.
When setting packet reformat flag and pkt_reformat pointer must
exists so checking MLX5_ESW_DEST_ENCAP is not enough, we need
to make sure the pkt_reformat is valid and check for MLX5_ESW_DEST_ENCAP_VALID.
If the dest encap valid flag does not exists then pkt_reformat can be
either invalid address or null.
Also, to make sure we don't try to access invalid pkt_reformat set it to
null when invalidated and invalidate it before calling add flow code as
its logically more correct and to be safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
