Cosmin Ratiu d3a356db85 net/mlx5: Move the vhca event notifier outside of the devlink lock
The vhca event notifier consists of an atomic notifier for vhca state
changes (used for SF events), multiple workqueues and a blocking
notifier chain for delivering the vhca state change events for further
processing.

This patch moves the vhca notifier head outside of mlx5_init_one() /
mlx5_uninit_one() and into the mlx5_mdev_init() / mlx5_mdev_uninit()
functions.

This allows called notifiers to grab the PF devlink lock which was
previously impossible because it would create a circular lock
dependency.

mlx5_vhca_event_stop() is now called earlier in the cleanup phase and
flushes the workqueues to ensure that after the call, there are no
pending events. This simplifies the cleanup flow for vhca event
consumers.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
