[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 02/14] net/sfc: do not hold management event queue lock while MCDI

[Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>]

MCDI execution may require MCDI proxy handling which involves
management event queue polling. So, it is a bad idea to hold
managment event queue lock when MCDI is executed.

Event queue creation and destruction are MCDI operations.

Fixes: 4650ed44c120 ("net/sfc: support MCDI proxy")
