Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix race condition during interface enslave
Commit 5dbbbd01cbba83 ("ice: Avoid RTNL lock when re-creating
auxiliary device") changes a process of re-creation of aux device
so ice_plug_aux_dev() is called from ice_service_task() context.
This unfortunately opens a race window that can result in dead-lock
when interface has left LAG and immediately enters LAG again.
Reproducer:
```
#!/bin/sh
ip link add lag0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100
ip link set lag0
for n in {1..10}; do
echo Cycle: $n
ip link set ens7f0 master lag0
sleep 1
ip link set ens7f0 nomaster
done
```
This results in:

1. Command 'ip link ... set nomaster' causes that ice_plug_aux_dev()
is called from ice_service_task() context, aux device is created
and associated device->lock is taken.
2. Command 'ip link ... set master...' calls ice's notifier under
RTNL lock and that notifier calls ice_unplug_aux_dev(). That
function tries to take aux device->lock but this is already taken
by ice_plug_aux_dev() in step 1
3. Later ice_plug_aux_dev() tries to take RTNL lock but this is already
taken in step 2
4. Dead-lock
The patch fixes this issue by following changes:
- Bit ICE_FLAG_PLUG_AUX_DEV is kept to be set during ice_plug_aux_dev()
call in ice_service_task()
- The bit is checked in ice_clear_rdma_cap() and only if it is not set
then ice_unplug_aux_dev() is called. If it is set (in other words
plugging of aux device was requested and ice_plug_aux_dev() is
potentially running) then the function only clears the
