Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&net->connection_lock);
lock((work_completion)(&ring->work));
lock(&net->connection_lock);
lock((work_completion)(&ring->work));
This in fact is false positive because they involve unrelated rings (and
unrelated work structures). In the first one it is ring 0 which is used
for control traffic and in the second it is dealing with another ring
used for the high-speed traffic.
Fix this by using separate lock class for each ring worker.
