fcoe: close race on link speed detection in fcoe code
When creating an fcoe interfce, we call fcoe_link_speed_update before we add the
lports fcoe interface to the fc_hostlist. Since network device events like
NETDEV_CHANGE are only processed if an fcoe interface is found with an
underlying netdev that matches the netdev of the event. Since this processing
in fcoe_device_notification is how link_speed changes get communicated to the
libfc code (via fcoe_link_speed_update), we have a race condition - if a
NETDEV_CHANGE event is sent after the call to fcoe_link_speed_update in
fcoe_netdev_config, but before we add the interface to the fc_hostlist, we will
loose the event and attributes like /sys/class/fc_host/hostX/speed will not get
updated properly.
Fix this by moving the add to the fc_hostlist above the serialized call to
fcoe_netdev_config, ensuring that we catch netdev envents before we make a
direct call to fcoe_link_speed_update.
Also use this opportunity to clean up access to the fc_hostlist a bit by
creating a fcoe_hostlist_del accessor and replacing the cleanup in fcoe_exit to
use it properly.
