iavf: Fix locking for VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS



iavf_virtchnl_completion is called under crit_lock but when
the code for VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS is called,
this lock is released in order to obtain rtnl_lock to avoid
ABBA deadlock with unregister_netdev.

Along with the new way iavf_remove behaves, there exist
many risks related to the lock release and attmepts to regrab
it. The driver faces crashes related to races between
unregister_netdev and netdev_update_features. Yet another
risk is that the driver could already obtain the crit_lock
in order to destroy it and iavf_virtchnl_completion could
crash or block forever.

Make iavf_virtchnl_completion never relock crit_lock in it's
call paths.

Extract rtnl_lock locking logic to the driver for
unregister_netdev in order to set the netdev_registered flag
inside the lock.

Introduce a new flag that will inform adminq_task to perform
the code from VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2_CAPS right after
it finishes processing messages. Guard this code with remove
flags so it's never called when the driver is in remove state.
