[ 2057.572847] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis:
There is one napi structure per out_q: card->qdio.out_qs[i].napi
The napi.poll functions are set during qeth_open().

Since
commit 1cfef80d4c2b ("s390/qeth: Don't call dev_close/dev_open (DOWN/UP)")
qeth_set_offline()/qeth_set_online() no longer call dev_close()/
dev_open(). So if qeth_free_qdio_queues() cleared
card->qdio.out_qs[i].napi.poll while the network interface was UP and the
card was offline, they are not set again.

Reproduction:
chzdev -e $devno layer2=0
ip link set dev $network_interface up
echo 0 > /sys/bus/ccw
