netvsc_vf_setxdp() has two kinds of callers. netvsc_register_vf() runs
with the VF's instance lock already held, either by the NETDEV_REGISTER
notifier or by netvsc_probe() taking it, which is why the propagation
moved to the caller-locked netif_xdp_propagate(). netvsc_bpf() runs with
just RTNL, so the VF's ndo_bpf() gets called unlocked. For a VF with an
ops lock that trips the lockdep assertion in
dev_get_min_mp_channel_count(), which netif_xdp_propagate() calls, and
races with binding a memory provider, which takes only the instance
lock.
Take the VF's lock in netvsc_bpf().
Reported by Sashiko during core rework. Unverified and untested.
