Parav Pandit 19bb3c68e1 net/mlx5: Fix vhca_id access call trace use before alloc 
[ Upstream commit a8f930b7be ]

HCA CAP structure is allocated in mlx5_hca_caps_alloc().
mlx5_mdev_init()
  mlx5_hca_caps_alloc()

And HCA CAP is read from the device in mlx5_init_one().

The vhca_id's debugfs file is published even before above two
operations are done.
Due to this when user reads the vhca id before the initialization,
following call trace is observed.

Fix this by deferring debugfs publication until the HCA CAP is
allocated and read from the device.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
