Subject: [PATCH 5.6 110/161] net/mlx5: Fix fatal error handling during device load

From: Shay Drory <shayd@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit b6e0b6bebe0732d5cac51f0791f269d2413b8980 ]

Currently, in case of fatal error during mlx5_load_one(), we cannot
enter error state until mlx5_load_one() is finished, what can take
several minutes until commands will get timeouts, because these commands
can't be processed due to the fatal error.
Fix it by setting dev->state as MLX5_DEVICE_STATE_INTERNAL_ERROR before
requesting the lock.

Fixes: c1d4d2e92ad6 ("net/mlx5: Avoid calling sleeping function by the health poll thread")
