[PATCH 5.16 25/28] sfc: extend the locking on mcdi->seqno

From: Niels Dossche <dossche.niels@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit f1fb205efb0ccca55626fd4ef38570dd16b44719 ]

seqno could be read as a stale value outside of the lock. The lock is
already acquired to protect the modification of seqno against a possible
race condition. Place the reading of this value also inside this locking
to protect it against a possible race condition.
