[PATCH v4 0/7] fix multi-process VF hotplug

[longli at linux.microsoft.com]

From: Long Li <longli at microsoft.com>

Fix several issues with VF hotplug and multi-process support in
netvsc, mana, mlx5, and mlx4 drivers:

- Fix race conditions between VSP notifications and DPDK device events
  during VF add/remove, with proper locking of VF-related fields
- Add multi-process communication infrastructure for coordinating VF
  removal across primary and secondary processes
- Fix Protection Domain resource leak on device close in mana
- Fix devargs memory leak during VF hotplug in netvsc
- Fix fast-path ops (rte_eth_fp_ops) setup in secondary processes for
  mana, mlx5, and mlx4, preventing segfaults on VF hot-add

v4:
- Patch 1: Check hn_vf_add() return value in netvsc_hotplug_retry
- Patch 1: Track fresh_attach to avoid tearing down original VF
  attachment when configure/start fails on an -EEXIST path
- Patch 2: Move counter decrement and netvsc_uninit_once() after device
  cleanup in eth_hn_remove() to prevent use-after-free of shared data
- Patch 2: Clear netvsc_shared_data on init failure paths to prevent
  dangling pointer

v3:
- Fix review comments from v2

v2:
- Initial rework of VF add/remove locking
