Erez Shitrit 69956d8326 IB/ipoib: Sync between remove_one to sysfs calls that use rtnl_lock
In order to avoid deadlock between sysfs functions (like create/delete
child) and remove_one (both of them are using the sysfs lock and
rtnl_lock) the driver will use a state mutex for sync.

That will fix traces as the following:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
