Subject: [PATCH 4.9 32/32] net: dcb: disable softirqs in dcbnl_flush_dev()

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

commit 10b6bb62ae1a49ee818fc479cf57b8900176773e upstream.

Ido Schimmel points out that since commit 52cff74eef5d ("dcbnl : Disable
software interrupts before taking dcb_lock"), the DCB API can be called
by drivers from softirq context.

One such in-tree example is the chelsio cxgb4 driver:
dcb_rpl
-> cxgb4_dcb_handle_fw_update
   -> dcb_ieee_setapp

If the firmware for this driver happened to send an event which resulted
in a call to dcb_ieee_setapp() at the exact same time as another
DCB-enabled interface was unregistering on the same CPU, the softirq
would deadlock, because the interrupted process was already holding the
dcb_lock in dcbnl_flush_dev().

Fix this unlikely event by using spin_lock_bh() in dcbnl_flush_dev() as
in the rest of the dcbnl code.
