net/mlx5e: Use spin_lock_bh for async_icosq_lock
async_icosq_lock may be taken from softirq and non-softirq contexts. It requires protection with spin_lock_bh, otherwise a softirq may be triggered in the middle of the critical section, and it may deadlock if it tries to take the same lock. This patch fixes such a scenario by using spin_lock_bh to disable softirqs on that CPU while inside the critical section.

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.
