[Intel-wired-lan] [iwl-next PATCH v3 0/3] IDPF Virtchnl: Enhance error reporting & fix locking/workqueue issues

[Brian Vazquez <brianvv@google.com>]

This patch series addresses several IDPF virtchnl issues:

* Improved error reporting for better diagnostics.
* Fixed locking sequence in virtchnl message handling to avoid potential race conditions.
* Converted idpf workqueues to unbound to prevent virtchnl processing delays under heavy load.

Previously, CPU-bound kworkers for virtchnl processing could be starved,
leading to transaction timeouts and connection failures.
This was particularly problematic when IRQ traffic and user space processes contended for the same CPU. 

By making the workqueues unbound, we ensure virtchnl processing is not tied to a specific CPU,
improving responsiveness even under high system load.
