[PATCH v2] thunderbolt: Check whether bandwidth request needs asymmetric mode before check whether it can be done

[PATCH v2] thunderbolt: Check whether bandwidth request needs asymmetric mode before check whether it can be done

[zhangjianrong]

Current implementation may cause allocation failures in
tb_alloc_dp_bandwidth() in some cases. This will happen
when requesting downstream bandwidth while total upstream
bandwidth usage on the link exceeds TB_ASYM_MIN (36 Gbps).
tb_configure_asym() will return -ENOBUFS while asymmetric
mode isn't necessary.

Please use a real name, not an email alias, for a signed-off-by line.

Also, if this fixes old bugs, why did you not also include a cc:
stable@kernel.org line?

thanks,
