net/mlx5_core: Fix soft lockup in steering error flow
In the error flow of adding flow rule to auto-grouped flow table, we call to tree_remove_node. tree_remove_node locks the node's parent, however the node's parent is already locked by mlx5_add_flow_rule and this causes a deadlock. After this patch, if we failed to add the flow rule, we unlock the flow table before calling to tree_remove_node. fixes: f0d22d18 ('net/mlx5_core: Introduce flow steering autogrouped flow table') Signed-off-by: Maor Gottlieb <maorg@mellanox.com> Reported-by: Amir Vadai <amir@vadai.me> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
