crypto: qat - fix deadlock in backlog processing
If a request has the flag CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_BACKLOG set, the function qat_alg_send_message_maybacklog(), enqueues it in a backlog list if either (1) there is already at least one request in the backlog list, or (2) the HW ring is nearly full or (3) the enqueue to the HW ring fails. If an interrupt occurs right before the lock in qat_alg_backlog_req() is taken and the backlog queue is being emptied, then there is no request in the HW queues that can trigger a subsequent interrupt that can clear the backlog queue. In addition subsequent requests are enqueued to the backlog list and not sent to the hardware. Fix it by holding the lock while taking the decision if the request needs to be included in the backlog queue or not. This synchronizes the flow with the interrupt handler that drains the backlog queue. For performance reasons, the logic has been changed to try to enqueue first without holding the lock.
