Michael Chan 0eaa24b971 bnxt_en: Fix RTNL lock usage on bnxt_update_link().
bnxt_update_link() is called from multiple code paths.  Most callers,
such as open, ethtool, already hold RTNL.  Only the caller bnxt_sp_task()
does not.  So it is a bug to take RTNL inside bnxt_update_link().

Fix it by removing the RTNL inside bnxt_update_link().  The function
now expects the caller to always hold RTNL.

In bnxt_sp_task(), call bnxt_rtnl_lock_sp() before calling
bnxt_update_link().  We also need to move the call to the end of
bnxt_sp_task() since it will be clearing the BNXT_STATE_IN_SP_TASK bit.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
