IB/usnic: Fix potential deadlock [ Upstream commit 8036e90f92aae2784b855a0007ae2d8154d28b3c ] Acquiring the rtnl lock while holding usdev_lock could result in a deadlock. For example: usnic_ib_query_port() | mutex_lock(&us_ibdev->usdev_lock) | ib_get_eth_speed() | rtnl_lock() rtnl_lock() | usnic_ib_netdevice_event() | mutex_lock(&us_ibdev->usdev_lock) This commit moves the usdev_lock acquisition after the rtnl lock has been released. This is safe to do because usdev_lock is not protecting anything being accessed in ib_get_eth_speed(). Hence, the correct order of holding locks (rtnl -> usdev_lock) is not violated.
