The problem is in this flow:
1) Port is enabled, queue_id != 0, in qom_list
2) Port gets disabled
        -> team_port_disable()
        -> team_queue_override_port_del()
        -> del (removed from list)
3) Port is disabled, queue_id != 0, not in any list
4) Priority changes
        -> team_queue_override_port_prio_changed()
        -> checks: port disabled && queue_id != 0
        -> calls del - hits the BUG as it is removed already

To fix this, change the check in team_queue_override_port_prio_changed()
so it returns early if port is not enabled.
