The MANA driver's probe registers netdevice via the following call chain:
mana_probe()
register_netdev()
register_netdevice()
register_netdevice() calls notifier callback for netvsc driver,
holding the netdev mutex via netdev_lock_ops().
Further this netvsc notifier callback end up attempting to acquire the
same lock again in dev_xdp_propagate() leading to deadlock.
netvsc_netdev_event()
netvsc_vf_setxdp()
dev_xdp_propagate()
This deadlock was not observed so far because net_shaper_ops was never set,
and thus the lock was effectively a no-op in this case. Fix this by using
netif_xdp_propagate() instead of dev_xdp_propagate() to avoid recursive
locking in this path.
And, since no deadlock is observed on the other path which is via
netvsc_probe, add the lock exclusivly for that path.
Also, clean up the unregistration path by removing the unnecessary call to
netvsc_vf_setxdp(), since unregister_netdevice_many_notify() already
performs this cleanup via dev_xdp_uninstall().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
