Selvin Xavier de5c95d0f5 RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix system crash during RDMA resource initialization
bnxt_re_ib_reg acquires and releases the rtnl lock whenever it accesses
the L2 driver.

The following sequence can trigger a crash

Acquires the rtnl_lock ->
	Registers roce driver callback with L2 driver ->
		release the rtnl lock
bnxt_re acquires the rtnl_lock ->
	Request for MSIx vectors ->
		release the rtnl_lock

Issue happens when bnxt_re proceeds with remaining part of initialization
and L2 driver invokes bnxt_ulp_irq_stop as a part of bnxt_open_nic.

The crash is in bnxt_qplib_nq_stop_irq as the NQ structures are
not initialized yet,

Avoid this inconsistent state and  system crash by acquiring
the rtnl lock for the entire duration of device initialization.
Re-factor the code to remove the rtnl lock from the individual function
and acquire and release it from the caller.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
