    i40e: don't hold spinlock while resetting VF · ba4e003d

    When we refactored handling of the PVID in commit 9af52f60
    ("i40e: use (add|rm)_vlan_all_mac helper functions when changing PVID")
    we introduced a scheduling while atomic regression.
    
    This occurred because we now held the spinlock across a call to
    i40e_reset_vf(), which results in a usleep_range() call that triggers
    a scheduling while atomic bug. This was rare as it only occurred if the
    user configured a VLAN on a VF and also attempted to reconfigure the VF
    from the host system with a port VLAN.
    
    We do need to hold the lock while calling i40e_is_vsi_in_vlan(), but we
    should not be holding it while we reset the VF.
    
    We'll fix this by introducing a separate helper function
    i40e_vsi_has_vlans which checks whether we have a PVID and whether the
    VSI has configured VLANs. This helper function will manage its own need
    for the mac_filter_hash_lock.
    
    Then, we can move the acquiring of the spinlock until after we reset the
    VF, which ensures that we do not sleep while holding the lock.
    
    Using a separate function like this makes the code more clear and is
    easier to read than attempting to release and re-acquire the spinlock
    when we reset the VF.
