Revision v2 of 2 in this series.

Revisions (2)
  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. v2 current
The mqprio path of ice_setup_tc() takes pf->adev_mutex and the auxiliary
device lock first and pf->tc_mutex after them. The dcbnl handlers take
pf->tc_mutex first and reach pf->adev_mutex through ice_pf_dcb_cfg() and
ice_send_event_to_aux(). Both run with the RTNL lock held, so the two
orders do not deadlock against each other, but they form a circular
dependency for lockdep, and the DCB reconfiguration is about to hold
pf->adev_mutex for longer.

Take pf->tc_mutex first, which is the order the dcbnl side has used
since pf->adev_mutex was introduced.

v2:
- new patch, ice_setup_tc() took pf->adev_mutex before pf->tc_mutex
  while the dcbnl handlers take them the other way round
