[PATCH 17/62] bnxt_en: Make bnxt_resume() easier to analyze

[Bart Van Assche]

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>

Pass the same argument to netdev_lock() and netdev_unlock(). This patch
prepares for enabling the Clang thread-safety analysis functionality. No
functional change intended.

[PATCH 18/62] bnxt_en: Fix bnxt_dl_reload_up()

[Bart Van Assche]

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>

bnxt_dl_reload_down() calls rtnl_lock() and netdev_lock() if it returns
0. Hence, bnxt_dl_reload_up() should invoke the corresponding unlock
calls. This issue has been detected by the clang thread-sanitizer.
Compile-tested only.
