When requesting a new timestamp, the ice_ptp_request_ts function does not hold the Tx tracker lock while checking init and calibrating. This means that we might issue a new timestamp request just after the Tx timestamp tracker starts being deinitialized. This could lead to incorrect access of the timestamp structures. Correct this by moving the init and calibrating checks under the lock, and updating the flows which modify these fields to use the lock. Note that we do not need to hold the lock while checking for tx->init in ice_ptp_tx_tstamp. This is because the teardown function will use synchronize_irq after clearing the flag to ensure that the threaded interrupt completes. Either a) the tx->init flag will be cleared before the ice_ptp_tx_tstamp function starts, thus it will exit immediately, or b) the threaded interrupt will be executing and the synchronize_irq will wait until the threaded interrupt has completed at which point we know the init field has definitely been set and new interrupts will not execute the Tx timestamp thread function.

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.
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.
