[ Upstream commit bab9693a9a8c6dd19f670408ec1e78e12a320682 ]

A dead lock was triggered on thunderx driver:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   [01] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock);
                           [11] lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);
                           [12] lock(&(&nic->rx_mode_wq_lock)->rlock);
   [02] <Interrupt> lock(&(&mc->mca_lock)->rlock);

The path for each is:

  [01] worker_thread() -> process_one_work() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode_task()
  [02] mld_ifc_timer_expire()
  [11] ipv6_add_dev() -> ipv6_dev_mc_inc() -> igmp6_group_added() ->
  [12] dev_mc_add() -> __dev_set_rx_mode() -> nicvf_set_rx_mode()

To fix it, it needs to disable bh on [1], so that the timer on [2]
wouldn't be triggered until rx_mode_wq_lock is released. So change
to use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock().

Thanks to Paolo for helping with this.

v1->v2:
  - post to netdev.
