CVE-2021-46991

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i40e: Fix use-after-free in i40e_client_subtask()

Currently the call to i40e_client_del_instance frees the object
pf->cinst, however pf->cinst->lan_info is being accessed after
the free. Fix this by adding the missing return.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Read from pointer after free")

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
