Driver callback for handling TX timeout should access some internal
resources (SQ, CQ) in order to decide if the tx timeout work should be
scheduled. These resources might be unavailable if channels are closed
in parallel (ifdown for example).
The state lock is the mechanism to protect from such races.
Move all TX timeout logic to be in the work under a state lock.
In addition, Move the work from the global WQ to mlx5e WQ to make sure
this work is flushed when device is detached..
Also, move the mlx5e_tx_timeout_work code to be next to the TX timeout
NDO for better code locality.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
