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.
