Subject: [net 10/10] net/mlx5: Serialize module cleanup with reload and remove

From: Shay Drory <shayd@...dia.com>

Currently, remove and reload flows can run in parallel to module cleanup.
This design is error prone. For example: aux_drivers callbacks are called
from both cleanup and remove flows with different lockings, which can
cause a deadlock[1].
Hence, serialize module cleanup with reload and remove.

[1]
       cleanup                        remove
       -------                        ------
   auxiliary_driver_unregister();
                                     devl_lock()
                                      auxiliary_device_delete(mlx5e_aux)
    device_lock(mlx5e_aux)
     devl_lock()
                                       device_lock(mlx5e_aux)
