Subject: net/mlx5: Only cancel recovery work when cleaning up device
From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5e44fca5047054f1762813751626b5245e0da022 upstream.
Do not attempt to drain the health workqueue when unloading the device in
the recovery flow, this can cause a deadlock when the recovery work
tries to cancel itself with sync.
Because the work is no longer unconditionally canceled when unloading, it
must be explicitly canceled in the AER flow.
fixes: 689a248df83b ("net/mlx5: Cancel recovery work in remove flow")
