[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 101/114] net-sysfs: prevent uncleared queues from being re-added

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Antoine Tenart <atenart@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 7e54f85c60828842be27e0149f3533357225090e ]

With the (upcoming) removal of the rtnl_trylock/restart_syscall logic
and because of how Tx/Rx queues are implemented (and their
requirements), it might happen that a queue is re-added before having
the chance to be cleared. In such rare case, do not complete the queue
addition operation.
