iavf: fix racing in VLANs
Ahmed Zaki says:
This patchset mainly fixes a racing issue in the iavf where the number of
VLANs in the vlan_filter_list might be more than the PF limit. To fix that,
we get rid of the cvlans and svlans bitmaps and keep all the required info
in the list.
The second patch adds two new states that are needed so that we keep the
VLAN info while the interface goes DOWN:
-- DISABLE (notify PF, but keep the filter in the list)
-- INACTIVE (dev is DOWN, filter is removed from PF)
Finally, the current code keeps each state in a separate bit field, which
is error prone. The first patch refactors that by replacing all bits with
a single enum. The changes are minimal where each bit change is replaced
with the new state value.

============
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.
