Subject: [net-next 02/15] i40e: Fix a bug where a client close can be called before an open is complete

From: Anjali Singhai Jain <anjali.singhai@...el.com>

The client->open call in this path was not protected with the
client instance mutex, and hence the client->close can get initiated
before the open completes.
