Subject: [PATCH 5.10 15/25] net/mlx5: Use del_timer_sync in fw reset flow of halting poll

From: Maher Sanalla <msanalla@...dia.com>

commit 3c5193a87b0fea090aa3f769d020337662d87b5e upstream.

Substitute del_timer() with del_timer_sync() in fw reset polling
deactivation flow, in order to prevent a race condition which occurs
when del_timer() is called and timer is deactivated while another
process is handling the timer interrupt. A situation that led to
the following call trace:
	RIP: 0010:run_timer_softirq+0x137/0x420
	<IRQ>
	recalibrate_cpu_khz+0x10/0x10
	ktime_get+0x3e/0xa0
	? sched_clock_cpu+0xb/0xc0
	__do_softirq+0xf5/0x2ea
	irq_exit_rcu+0xc1/0xf0
	sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x9e/0xc0
	asm_sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt+0x12/0x20
	</IRQ>
