CVE-2022-49434

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

PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()

The sysfs sriov_numvfs_store() path acquires the device lock before the
config space access lock:

  sriov_numvfs_store
    device_lock                 # A (1) acquire device lock
    sriov_configure
      vfio_pci_sriov_configure  # (for example)
        vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure
          pci_disable_sriov
            sriov_disable
              pci_cfg_access_lock
                pci_wait_cfg    # B (4) wait for dev->block_cfg_access == 0

Previously, pci_dev_lock() acquired the config space access lock before the
device lock:

  pci_dev_lock
    pci_cfg_access_lock
      dev->block_cfg_access = 1 # B (2) set dev->block_cfg_access = 1
    device_lock                 # A (3) wait for device lock

Any path that uses pci_dev_lock(), e.g., pci_reset_function(), may
deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store() if the operations occur in the sequence
(1) (2) (3) (4).

Avoid the deadlock by reversing the order in pci_dev_lock() so it acquires
the device lock before the config space access lock, the same as the
sriov_numvfs_store() path.
