net: bcmgenet: protect stop from timeout
A timing hazard exists when the network interface is stopped that allows a watchdog timeout to be processed by a separate core in parallel. This creates the potential for the timeout handler to wake the queues while the driver is shutting down, or access registers after their clocks have been removed. The more common case is that the watchdog timeout will produce a warning message which doesn't lead to a crash. The chances of this are greatly increased by the fact that bcmgenet_netif_stop stops the transmit queues which can easily precipitate a watchdog time- out because of stale trans_start data in the queues. This commit corrects the behavior by ensuring that the watchdog timeout is disabled before enterring bcmgenet_netif_stop. There are currently only two users of the bcmgenet_netif_stop function: close and suspend. The close case already handles the issue by exiting the RUNNING state before invoking the driver close service. The suspend case now performs the netif_device_detach to exit the PRESENT state before the call to bcmgenet_netif_stop rather than after it. These behaviors prevent any future scheduling of the driver timeout service during the window. The netif_tx_stop_all_queues function in bcmgenet_netif_stop is replaced with netif_tx_disable to ensure synchronization with any transmit or timeout threads that may already be executing on other cores. For symmetry, the netif_device_attach call upon resume is moved to after the call to bcmgenet_netif_start. Since it wakes the transmit queues it is not necessary to invoke netif_tx_start_all_queues from bcmgenet_netif_start so it is moved into the driver open service.
