Would be also good to CC the author.

the bug was introduced later, the tag should be:
Fixes: ec5a6c5f79ed ("ice: process events created by lag netdev event 
handler")

The mentioned commit extracted code into ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes(),
and there is just one call to this function by now, just after
releasing lag_mutex, so would be good to change the semantics of
ice_lag_move_new_vf_nodes() to "only for lag-enabled flows, with
lag_mutex held", and fix the call to it to reflect that.

sometimes that is not strictly needed, but after two possible tags
mentioned that's the best way :)
