[PATCH net-next 10/15] idpf: make mbx_task queueing and cancelling more consistent

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>

Subsystem: intel ethernet drivers, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Tony Nguyen, Przemek Kitszel, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Larysa Zaremba <redacted>

As a consequence of refactoring idpf code to use libeth APIs,
idpf_vc_xn_shutdown was merged with and replaced by idpf_deinit_dflt_mbx.
This does not affect the Tx path, as it checked for a presence of an xn
manager anyway. Rx processing is handled by the mbx_task that is not always
cancelled before calling the new consolidated mailbox deinit function.
Moreover, in the reset path idpf_intr_rel() reschedules it after the deinit
is done. This leads to mbx_task referencing the freed mailbox and causing
KASAN warnings.

To remedy this, in the init path, do the first queueing of mbx_task in
idpf_init_dflt_mbx(), in deinit and reset, always cancel the task in
idpf_deinit_dflt_mbx() and in every flow first call idpf_mb_intr_rel_irq().
