Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] iavf: check for removal state before IAVF_FLAG_PF_COMMS_FAILED

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

In iavf_adminq_task(), if the function can't acquire the
adapter->crit_lock, it checks if the driver is removing. If so, it simply
exits without re-enabling the interrupt. This is done to ensure that the
task stops processing as soon as possible once the driver is being removed.

However, if the IAVF_FLAG_PF_COMMS_FAILED is set, the function checks this
before attempting to acquire the lock. In this case, the function exits
early and re-enables the interrupt. This will happen even if the driver is
already removing.

Avoid this, by moving the check to after the adapter->crit_lock is
acquired. This way, if the driver is removing, we will not re-enable the
interrupt.
