For z/VM GuestLAN or VSWITCH devices the transport layer is
configured in z/VM. The layer2 attribute of a participating Linux
device has to match the z/VM definition. In case of a mismatch
Linux currently crashes in qeth recovery due to a reference to the
not yet existing net_device.
Solution: add a check for existence of net_device and add a message
pointing to the mismatch of layer definitions in Linux and z/VM.
