net/mlx5: Set BREAK_FW_WAIT flag first when removing driver
[ Upstream commit 031a163f2c476adcb2c01e27a7d323e66174ac11 ]
Currently, BREAK_FW_WAIT flag is set after syncing with fw_reset.
However, fw_reset can call mlx5_load_one() which is waiting for fw
init bit and BREAK_FW_WAIT flag is intended to stop. e.g.: the driver
might wait on a loop it should exit.
Fix it by setting the flag before syncing with fw_reset.
Fixes: 8324a02c342a ("net/mlx5: Add exit route when waiting for FW")
