Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 038/105] net: sfp: add mutex to prevent concurrent state checks

From: Robert Hancock <hancock@...systems.ca>

[ Upstream commit 2158e856f56bb762ef90f3ec244d41a519826f75 ]

sfp_check_state can potentially be called by both a threaded IRQ handler
and delayed work. If it is concurrently called, it could result in
incorrect state management. Add a st_mutex to protect the state - this
lock gets taken outside of code that checks and handle state changes, and
the existing sm_mutex nests inside of it.
