iavf: fix locking of critical sections



To avoid races between iavf_init_task(), iavf_reset_task(),
iavf_watchdog_task(), iavf_adminq_task() as well as the shutdown and
remove functions more locking is required.
The current protection by __IAVF_IN_CRITICAL_TASK is needed in
additional places.

- The reset task performs state transitions, therefore needs locking.
- The adminq task acts on replies from the PF in
  iavf_virtchnl_completion() which may alter the states.
- The init task is not only run during probe but also if a VF gets stuck
  to reinitialize it.
- The shutdown function performs a state transition.
- The remove function performs a state transition and also free's
  resources.

iavf_lock_timeout() is introduced to avoid waiting infinitely
and cause a deadlock. Rather unlock and print a warning.
