Subject: [PATCH] net: amd: xgbe: fix possible sleep-in-atomic-context bugs in xgbe_powerdown()

The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1261: 
	flush_workqueue in xgbe_powerdown
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1253: 
	_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in xgbe_powerdown

drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1055: 
	napi_disable in xgbe_napi_disable
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1266: 
	xgbe_napi_disable in xgbe_powerdown
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1253: 
	_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in xgbe_powerdown

drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1049: 
	napi_disable in xgbe_napi_disable
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1266: 
	xgbe_napi_disable in xgbe_powerdown
drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c, 1253: 
	_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in xgbe_powerdown

flush_workqueue() and napi_disable() can sleep at runtime.

To fix these bugs, flush_workqueue() and xgbe_napi_disable() are called
without holding the spinlock.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by
myself.
