Summary
net/mlx5e: Check for NOT_READY flag state after locking
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5e: Check for NOT_READY flag state after locking

Currently the check for NOTREADY flag is performed before obtaining the necessary lock. This opens a possibility for race condition when the flow is concurrently removed from unreadyflows list by the workqueue task, which causes a double-removal from the list and a crash[0]. Fix the issue by moving the flag check inside the section protected by uplinkpriv->unreadyflows_lock mutex.
