[bug report] net/mlx5: E-Switch, Protect changing mode while adding rules

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>]

Hello Roi Dayan,

The patch 7dc84de98bab: "net/mlx5: E-Switch, Protect changing mode
while adding rules" from Sep 16, 2020, leads to the following Smatch
static checker warning:

	drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c:2000 mlx5_esw_unlock()
	warn: inconsistent returns '&esw->mode_lock'.

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.c
    1996 void mlx5_esw_unlock(struct mlx5_eswitch *esw)
    1997 {
    1998         if (!mlx5_esw_allowed(esw))
    1999                 return;

Smatch is complaining because how will the caller know if we dropped
the lock or not.  I thought, "Hm.  I guess the lock function has a
similar check?  Although, how does that work that mlx5_esw_allowed()
means that it doesn't need locking?"

But then when I looked at the lock function, mlx5_esw_try_lock(), and it
does *NOT* have a similar check.  This probably works because it's
checked in different layers and this is just a duplicative (layering
violation) check which is ugly but harmless.

--> 2000         up_write(&esw->mode_lock);
    2001 }
