net: enic: Cure the enic api locking trainwreck
enic_dev_wait() has a BUG_ON(in_interrupt()). Chasing the callers of enic_dev_wait() revealed the gems of enic_reset() and enic_tx_hang_reset() which are both invoked through work queues in order to be able to call rtnl_lock(). So far so good. After locking rtnl both functions acquire enic::enic_api_lock which serializes against the (ab)use from infiniband. This is where the trainwreck starts. enic::enic_api_lock is a spin_lock() which implicitly disables preemption, but both functions invoke a ton of functions under that lock which can sleep. The BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) does not trigger in that case because it can't detect the preempt disabled condition. This clearly has never been tested with any of the mandatory debug options for 7+ years, which would have caught that for sure. Cure it by adding a enic_api_busy member to struct enic, which is modified and evaluated with enic::enic_api_lock held. If enic_api_devcmd_proxy_by_index() observes enic::enic_api_busy as true, it drops enic::enic_api_lock and busy waits for enic::enic_api_busy to become false. It would be smarter to wait for a completion of that busy period, but enic_api_devcmd_proxy_by_index() is called with other spin locks held which obviously can't sleep. Remove the BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) check as well because it's incomplete and with proper debugging enabled the problem would have been caught from the debug checks in schedule_timeout().
