During stress test with attaching and detaching VF from KVM and

NULL pointer dereference in ice_reset_vf that VF's VSI is null.

More than one instance of ice_reset_vf() can be running at a given
time. When we rebuild the VSI in ice_reset_vf, another reset can be
triaged from ice_service_task. In this case we can access the currently
uninitialized VSI and couse panic. The window for this racing condition
has been around for a long time but it's much worse after commit
227bf4500aaa ("ice: move VSI delete outside deconfig") because
the reset runs faster. ice_reset_vf() using vf->cfg_lock and when
we move this lock before accessing to the VF VSI, we can fix
BUG for all cases.

Panic occurs sometimes in ice_vsi_is_rx_queue_active() and sometimes
in ice_vsi_stop_all_rx_rings()

With our reproducer, we can hint BUG:

s/hint/hit/

~8h before commit 227bf4500aaa ("ice: move VSI delete outside deconfig").
~20m after commit 227bf4500aaa ("ice: move VSI delete outside deconfig").
After this fix we are not able to reproduce it after ~48h

There was commit cf90b74341ee ("ice: Fix call trace with null VSI during
VF reset") which also tried to fix this issue, but it was only
partially resolved and the bug still exists.

Thank you for all of your testing efforts, detailed explanation,
and the fix!

Is there anything interesting about your setup/methodology?
(Asking rather to explore and extend our tests, no doubts here :)
