net/mlx5e: Fix a race in command alloc flow
[ Upstream commit 8f5100da56b3980276234e812ce98d8f075194cd ]
Fix a cmd->ent use after free due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process allocated a ent->idx but didn't set ent to cmd->ent_arr in
cmd_work_handler(). Fix it by moving the assignment of cmd->ent_arr into
the spin lock.

The cmd->ent_arr[ent->idx] assignment and the bit clearing are not
protected by the cmd->alloc_lock in cmd_work_handler().
