bnxt_en: Fix bnxt_reset() in the slow path task.
[ Upstream commit a551ee94ea723b4af9b827c7460f108bc13425ee ] In bnxt_sp_task(), we set a bit BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK so that bnxt_close() will synchronize and wait for bnxt_sp_task() to finish. Some functions in bnxt_sp_task() require us to clear BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK and then acquire rtnl_lock() to prevent race conditions. There are some bugs related to this logic. This patch refactors the code to have common bnxt_rtnl_lock_sp() and bnxt_rtnl_unlock_sp() to handle the RTNL and the clearing/setting of the bit. Multiple functions will need the same logic. We also need to move bnxt_reset() to the end of bnxt_sp_task(). Functions that clear BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK must be the last functions to be called in bnxt_sp_task(). The common scheme will handle the condition properly. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
