iavf: Rework mutexes for better synchronisation
The driver used to crash in multiple spots when put to stress testing of the init, reset and remove paths. The user would experience call traces or hangs when creating, resetting, removing VFs. Depending on the machines, the call traces are happening in random spots, like reset restoring resources racing with driver remove. Make adapter->crit_lock mutex a mandatory lock for guarding the operations performed on all workqueues and functions dealing with resource allocation and disposal. Make __IAVF_REMOVE a final state of the driver respected by workqueues that shall not requeue, when they fail to obtain the crit_lock. Make the IRQ handler not to queue the new work for adminq_task when the __IAVF_REMOVE state is set.
