From: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@xxxxxxxxx> commit cbce91cad4ee39070bf3c7873767194e4be88e16 upstream. txr->dev_state was not consistently manipulated with the acquisition of the per-queue lock, after further inspection the lock does not seem necessary, either the value is read as BNXT_DEV_STATE_CLOSING or 0.
