This commit makes necessary changes to guarantee that txq2sq remains stable while mlx5e_xmit is running. Proper synchronization is added for HTB TX queues. All updates to txq2sq are performed while the corresponding queue is disabled (i.e. mlx5e_xmit doesn't run on that queue). smp_wmb after each change guarantees that mlx5e_xmit can see the updated value after the queue is enabled. Comments explaining this mechanism are added to mlx5e_xmit. When an HTB SQ can be deleted (after deleting an HTB node), synchronize with RCU to wait for mlx5e_select_queue to finish and stop selecting that queue, before we re-enable it to avoid TX timeout watchdog alarms.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
