When bringing down the netdevice (incl. detaching it) and calling
netif_carrier_off directly or indirectly the latter triggers an
asynchronous linkwatch event.
This linkwatch event eventually may fail to access chip registers in
the ndo_get_stats/ndo_get_stats64 callback because the device isn't
accessible any longer, see call trace in [0].
To prevent this scenario don't check for IFF_UP only, but also make
sure that the netdevice is present.
