[PATCH net v3] net/mlx5e: fix BQL reset on SQ re-activation

From: Bobby Eshleman <redacted>

mlx5e_queue_start() deactivates and re-activates all channels but closes
only the queue being restarted. mlx5e_activate_txqsq() then
unconditionally calls netdev_tx_reset_queue(), zeroing the BQL counters
of channels that kept their in-flight TX WQEs. The next completion then
over-charges and trips the BUG_ON() in dql_completed():

  kernel BUG at lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c:99!
  RIP: 0010:dql_completed+0x23d/0x280
  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>
   mlx5e_poll_tx_cq+0x668/0xa60
   mlx5e_napi_poll+0x5b/0x7b0
   net_rx_action+0x15a/0x580

Reset BQL only when the SQ has no bytes in flight (sq->cc == sq->pc).

In the case that reset is skipped, the outstanding WQEs will eventually
complete and rebalance the dql. The dql->limit is carried across the
reset.

Changes in v3:
- Sample sq->cc/sq->pc before setting MLX5E_SQ_STATE_ENABLED, so a
  concurrent mlx5e_poll_tx_cq() cannot un-charge BQL between the check
  and netdev_tx_reset_queue() (Sashiko:
  https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260729-mlx5-bql-v2-1-cdf285e586df@meta.com)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260729-mlx5-bql-v2-1-cdf285e586df@meta.com (local)

Changes in v2:
- remove misleading comment (Tariq)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260728-mlx5-bql-v1-1-99a0ab77ede7@meta.com (local)
