Sukadev Bhattiprolu 4a41c421f3 ibmvnic: serialize access to work queue on remove
The work queue is used to queue reset requests like CHANGE-PARAM or
FAILOVER resets for the worker thread. When the adapter is being removed
the adapter state is set to VNIC_REMOVING and the work queue is flushed
so no new work is added. However the check for adapter being removed is
racy in that the adapter can go into REMOVING state just after we check
and we might end up adding work just as it is being flushed (or after).

The ->rwi_lock is already being used to serialize queue/dequeue work.
Extend its usage ensure there is no race when scheduling/flushing work.

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 Restructured Text 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.
