Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 18/20] sfc: extend the locking on mcdi->seqno

From: Sasha Levin <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2022 11:21:56 -0500

From: Niels Dossche <[email-masked]>

[ Upstream commit f1fb205efb0ccca55626fd4ef38570dd16b44719 ]

seqno could be read as a stale value outside of the lock. The lock is
already acquired to protect the modification of seqno against a possible
race condition. Place the reading of this value also inside this locking
to protect it against a possible race condition.
