i40e: don't hold spinlock while resetting VF
When we refactored handling of the PVID in commit 9af52f60b2d9 ("i40e: use (add|rm)_vlan_all_mac helper functions when changing PVID") we introduced a scheduling while atomic regression. This occurred because we now held the spinlock across a call to i40e_reset_vf(), which results in a usleep_range() call that triggers a scheduling while atomic bug. This was rare as it only occurred if the user configured a VLAN on a VF and also attempted to reconfigure the VF from the host system with a port VLAN. We do need to hold the lock while calling i40e_is_vsi_in_vlan(), but we should not be holding it while we reset the VF. We'll fix this by introducing a separate helper function i40e_vsi_has_vlans which checks whether we have a PVID and whether the VSI has configured VLANs. This helper function will manage its own need for the mac_filter_hash_lock. Then, we can move the acquiring of the spinlock until after we reset the VF, which ensures that we do not sleep while holding the lock. Using a separate function like this makes the code more clear and is easier to read than attempting to release and re-acquire the spinlock when we reset the VF.
