net/mlx5: Fix health work queue spin lock to IRQ safe
spin_lock/unlock of health->wq_lock should be IRQ safe.
It was changed to spin_lock_irqsave since adding commit 0179720
("net/mlx5: Introduce trigger_health_work function") which uses
spin_lock from asynchronous event (IRQ) context.
Thus, all spin_lock/unlock of health->wq_lock should have been moved
to IRQ safe mode.
However, one occurrence on new code using this lock missed that
change, resulting in possible deadlock:
kernel: Possible unsafe locking scenario:
kernel: CPU0
kernel: ----
kernel: lock(&(&health->wq_lock)->rlock);
kernel: <Interrupt>
kernel: lock(&(&health->wq_lock)->rlock);
kernel: #12 *** DEADLOCK ***
Fixes: 2a0165a ("net/mlx5: Cancel delayed recovery work when unloading the driver")
