[PATCH] qed: fix possible unpaired spin_{un}lock_bh in _qed_mcp_cmd_and_union()

From: Jia He <hidden>

Liajian reported a bug_on hit on a ThunderX2 arm64 server with FastLinQ
QL41000 ethernet controller:
 BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/0:4/531/0x00000200
  [qed_probe:488()]hw prepare failed

In this case, qed_hw_prepare() returns error due to hw/fw error, but in
theory work queue should be in process context instead of interrupt.

The root cause might be the unpaired spin_{un}lock_bh() in
_qed_mcp_cmd_and_union(), which causes botton half is disabled incorrectly.

This patch is adding additional spin_{un}lock_bh().
Can you please enlighten about the exact flow causing this unpaired
spin_{un}lock_bh.

Also,
as per description, looks like you are not sure actual the root-cause.
does this patch really solved the problem?

I don't have that ThunderX2 to verify the patch.
But I searched all the spin_lock/unlock_bh and spin_lock_irqsave/irqrestore
under driver/.../qlogic, this is the only problematic point I could figure
out. And this might be possible code path of qed_probe().

Hence pairing completed.

I am not seeing any issue here.

Without testing and proper root-cause,  it is tough to accept the suggested fix.

For instance:
_qed_mcp_cmd_and_union()
  In while loop
    spin_lock_bh()
    qed_mcp_has_pending_cmd() (assume false), will break the loop
I agree till here.

  if (cnt >= max_retries) {

    return -EAGAIN; <-- here returns -EAGAIN without invoking bh

Because of break, cnt has not been increased.
   - cnt is still less than max_retries.
  - if (cnt >= max_retries) will not be *true*, leading to
spin_unlock_bh().

Hence pairing completed.
