This series fixes a set of latent bugs and robustness gaps in the MANA
Hardware Channel (HWC), the control path the driver uses to talk to the
device.  The issues range from a use-after-free of completion queues
during teardown to buffer mis-sizing, unsafe teardown ordering, missing
validation of device-supplied RX metadata, and stale-response handling
after a command timeout.

Patch overview:

  1  RCU-protect gc->cq_table lookups against concurrent CQ destroy
     The EQ interrupt handler dereferences CQ pointers from gc->cq_table
     while teardown can free them.  Put the table under RCU and wait a
     grace period before freeing, closing the use-after-free.

  2  fix HWC RQ/SQ buffer size swap
     init_queues() sized the RQ with max_req_msg_size and the SQ with
     max_resp_msg_size -- backwards.  A large response could overflow the
     RQ buffer and the RX slot-index divide used the wrong stride.  Also
     store the queue dimensions before creating the CQ so the RX handler
     never sees an uninitialised divisor.

  3  free HWC comp_buf after destroying the EQ
     Reorder teardown so the CQ/EQ are torn down (readers quiesced)
     before comp_buf is freed, preventing a late EQ-handler access to
     freed memory.

  4  validate hardware-supplied values in the HWC RX path
     Bounds-check the SGE, verify the recovered slot index and SGE
     address, and validate response length and msg_id before use, so
     malformed or hostile DMA metadata cannot cause wrong-slot completion
     or out-of-bounds access.

  5  fix HWC teardown safety with setup_active flag and destroy ordering
     Track setup activation explicitly, tear the CQ down before the
     TXQ/RXQ, and on an unrecoverable teardown failure leak the HWC
     resources rather than free memory the device may still DMA into.

  6  fix stale HWC response after command timeout
     Replace the inflight-slot semaphore with a bitmap + waitqueue and
     per-slot refcount/lock; latch the channel on timeout so no new slots
     are handed out, drop duplicate/late responses, and ignore a zero
     firmware-supplied timeout.

Follow-up feature work (net-next, sent separately)
--------------------------------------------------
The original series also contained two patches that are improvements, not
fixes:

  net: mana: support concurrent HWC requests
  net: mana: add dynamic HWC queue depth with reinit path

Per the netdev tree rules, fixes go to 'net' and features/improvements go
to 'net-next', and the two must not be combined in a single submission.
Those two patches build on the locking and teardown groundwork in this
series, so they will be posted as a separate net-next series only after
these fixes have propagated from net into net-next through the usual
periodic merge.

Changes since v2
----------------
 - Per maintainer feedback, split the original combined series: the six
   fixes here target 'net'; the two feature patches now go to 'net-next'
   and are sent separately (see above).  Rebased the fixes onto net.
 - Dropped the pcie_flr()-based reset fallback from the teardown path.
   pcie_flr() resets device config without the save/restore that
   pci_reset_function() provides, and cannot be used as a drop-in here.
   On an unrecoverable teardown failure the driver now leaks the HWC
   resources instead of touching memory the device may still DMA into.
 - patch 2: store the HWC queue dimensions before creating the CQ so the
   RX completion handler can never observe a zero max_resp_msg_size
   divisor or a stale num_inflight_msg bound.
 - Assorted commit-message and comment clarifications.
