virtio_net: fix a spurious deadlock issue
When the following snippet is run, lockdep will report a deadlock[1]. /* Acquire all queues dim_locks */ for (i = 0; i < vi->max_queue_pairs; i++) mutex_lock(&vi->rq[i].dim_lock); There's no deadlock here because the vq locks are always taken in the same order, but lockdep can not figure it out. So refactoring the code to alleviate the problem.
