[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] i40e: improve locking of mac_filter_hash

i40e_config_vf_promiscuous_mode() calls
i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() without acquiring the
mac_filter_hash_lock spinlock.

This is unsafe because mac_filter_hash may get altered in another thread
while i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() traverses the hashes.

Simply adding the spinlock in i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() is not
possible as it already gets called in i40e_get_vlan_list_sync() with the
spinlock held. Therefore adding a wrapper that acquires the spinlock and
call the correct function where appropriate.

Fixes: 37d318d7805f ("i40e: Remove scheduling while atomic possibility")
