Bharat Potnuri 1c8f1da5d8 iw_cxgb4: Fix possible circular dependency locking warning
Locking sequence of iw_cxgb4 and RoCE drivers in ib_register_device() is
slightly different and this leads to possible circular dependency locking
warning when both the devices are brought up.

Here is the locking sequence upto ib_register_device():
iw_cxgb4: rtnl_mutex(net stack) --> uld_mutex --> device_mutex
RoCE drivers: device_mutex --> rtnl_mutex

Here is the possibility of cross locking:

	CPU #0 (iw_cxgb4) 		     CPU #1 (RoCE drivers)

-> on interface up cxgb4_up()
executed with rtnl_mutex held
-> hold uld_mutex and try
registering ib device
					-> In ib_register_device() hold
					   device_mutex
-> hold device mutex in
ib_register_device
					-> try acquiring rtnl_mutex in
					   ib_enum_roce_netdev()

Current patch schedules the ib_register_device() functionality of
iw_cxgb4 to a workqueue to prevent the possible cross-locking.
Also rename the labels in c4iw_reister_device().

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.
