Subject: [PATCH 4.19 146/361] RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix recursive lock warning in debug kernel

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Selvin Xavier <selvin.xavier@...adcom.com>

[ Upstream commit d455f29f6d76a5f94881ca1289aaa1e90617ff5d ]

Fix possible recursive lock warning. Its a false warning as the locks are
part of two differnt HW Queue data structure - cmdq and creq. Debug kernel
is throwing the following warning and stack trace.

[  783.914967] ============================================

other info that might help us debug this:

Use nested notation for the spin_lock to avoid this warning.
