crypto: qat - fix concurrency issue when device state changes
The sysfs `state` attribute is not protected against race conditions. If multiple processes perform a device state transition on the same device in parallel, unexpected behaviors might occur. For transitioning the device state, adf_sysfs.c calls the functions adf_dev_init(), adf_dev_start(), adf_dev_stop() and adf_dev_shutdown() which are unprotected and interdependent on each other. To perform a state transition, these functions needs to be called in a specific order: * device up: adf_dev_init() -> adf_dev_start() * device down: adf_dev_stop() -> adf_dev_shutdown() This change introduces the functions adf_dev_up() and adf_dev_down() which wrap the state machine functions and protect them with a per-device lock. These are then used in adf_sysfs.c instead of the individual state transition functions.
