Fix deadlock that occurs when iavf interface is a part of failover
configuration.
1. Mutex crit_lock is taken at the beginning of iavf_watchdog_task()
2. Function iavf_init_config_adapter() is called when adapter
state is __IAVF_INIT_CONFIG_ADAPTER
3. iavf_init_config_adapter() calls register_netdevice() that emits
NETDEV_REGISTER event
4. Notifier function failover_event() then calls
net_failover_slave_register() that calls dev_open()
5. dev_open() calls iavf_open() that tries to take crit_lock in
end-less loop

To fix the situation we should check the current adapter state after
first unsuccessful mutex_trylock() and return with -EBUSY if it is
__IAVF_INIT_CONFIG_ADAPTER.

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 Restructured Text 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.
