The AMT_STATE sap message handler tries to take the rtnl lock.
This means that in case the rtnl lock is already taken, sap messages
will not be processed.
When an interface is brought up, the host requests ownership from
csme. However, since the rtnl lock is already held, if there is a
pending amt state message, the host will not be able to read the
ownership confirm message because the amt state message handler
is pending. As a result, the host fails to get ownership although
csme granted it.
Fix it by moving the part that needs the rtnl lock into a dedicated
worker, so handling sap messages can continue.

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.
