iavf: fix a deadlock caused by rtnl and driver's lock circular dependencies
[ Upstream commit d1639a17319ba78a018280cd2df6577a7e5d9fab ]
A driver's lock (crit_lock) is used to serialize all the driver's tasks.
Lockdep, however, shows a circular dependency between rtnl and
crit_lock. This happens when an ndo that already holds the rtnl requests
the driver to reset, since the reset task (in some paths) tries to grab
rtnl to either change real number of queues of update netdev features.

*** DEADLOCK ***
The deadlock can be triggered by a script that is continuously resetting
the VF adapter while doing other operations requiring RTNL, e.g:
while :; do
ip link set $VF up
ethtool --set-channels $VF combined 2
ip link set $VF down
ip link set $VF up
ethtool --set-channels $VF combined 4
ip link set $VF down
done
Any operation that triggers a reset can substitute "ethtool --set-channles"
As a fix, add a new task "finish_config" that do all the work which
needs rtnl lock. With the exception of iavf_remove(), all work that
require rtnl should be called from this task.
As for iavf_remove(), at the point where we need to call
unregister_netdevice() (and grab rtnl_lock), we make sure the finish_config
task is not running (cancel_work_sync()) to safely grab rtnl. Subsequent
finish_config work cannot restart after that since the task is guarded
by the __IAVF_IN_REMOVE_TASK bit in iavf_schedule_finish_config().
