The issue happens if RQ poll_cq or SQ poll_cq or Async error event tries to
put the error QP in flush list. Since SQ and RQ of each error qp are added
to two different flush list, we need to protect it using locks of
corresponding CQs. Difference in order of acquiring the lock in
SQ poll_cq and RQ poll_cq can cause a hard lockup.

Revisits the locking strategy and removes the usage of qplib_cq.hwq.lock.
Instead of this lock, introduces qplib_cq.flush_lock to handle
addition/deletion of QPs in flush list. Also, always invoke the flush_lock
in order (SQ CQ lock first and then RQ CQ lock) to avoid any potential
deadlock.

Other than the poll_cq context, the movement of QP to/from flush list can
be done in modify_qp context or from an async error event from HW.
Synchronize these operations using the bnxt_re verbs layer CQ locks.
To achieve this, adds a call back to the HW abstraction layer(qplib) to
bnxt_re ib_verbs layer in case of async error event. Also, removes the
buddy cq functions as it is no longer required.

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.
