Subject: [PATCH 5.10 078/103] ibmvnic: avoid calling napi_disable() twice

From: Lijun Pan <lijunp213@...il.com>

commit 0775ebc4cf8554bdcd2c212669a0868ab68df5c0 upstream.

__ibmvnic_open calls napi_disable without checking whether NAPI polling
has already been disabled or not. This could cause napi_disable
being called twice, which could generate deadlock. For example,
the first napi_disable will spin until NAPI_STATE_SCHED is cleared
by napi_complete_done, then set it again.
When napi_disable is called the second time, it will loop infinitely
because no dev->poll will be running to clear NAPI_STATE_SCHED.

To prevent above scenario from happening, call ibmvnic_napi_disable()
which checks if napi is disabled or not before calling napi_disable.
