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.
