    The sky2 frequently crashes during machine shutdown with:
    
    sky2_get_stats+0x60/0x3d8 [sky2]
    dev_get_stats+0x68/0xd8
    rtnl_fill_stats+0x54/0x140
    rtnl_fill_ifinfo+0x46c/0xc68
    rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb+0x7c/0xf0
    rtmsg_ifinfo.part.22+0x3c/0x70
    rtmsg_ifinfo+0x50/0x5c
    netdev_state_change+0x4c/0x58
    linkwatch_do_dev+0x50/0x88
    __linkwatch_run_queue+0x104/0x1a4
    linkwatch_event+0x30/0x3c
    process_one_work+0x140/0x3e0
    worker_thread+0x60/0x44c
    kthread+0xdc/0xf0
    ret_from_fork+0x10/0x50
    
    This is caused by the sky2 being called after it has been shutdown.
    A previous thread about this can be found here:

    An alternative fix is to assure that IFF_UP gets cleared by
    calling dev_close() during shutdown. This is similar to what the
    bnx2/tg3/xgene and maybe others are doing to assure that the driver
    isn't being called following _shutdown().
