Subject: ice: restore DDP state during PFR recovery
This patch serializes rebuilds across PFs of the same adapter while allowing
each PFR to complete independently. It reloads the DDP package from its
cached copy and restores the default DVM recipes before rebuilding the
remaining PF state.
Fixes: 462acf6aca85 ("ice: Enable DDP package download")

[Severity: High]
Can this cause a use-after-free of pf->adapter during concurrent device
removal?
If a device reset triggered in the service task takes longer than the
timeout, ice_remove() proceeds to teardown and calls ice_adapter_put().
For the last PF on the adapter, this drops the refcount to zero and frees
the adapter structure memory.
However, the service task is only explicitly halted by ice_deinit_dev()
after this point:
ice_remove()
...
ice_adapter_put(pdev);
ice_deinit_hw(&pf->hw);
ice_deinit_dev(pf); /* service task halted here */
If the service task was executing ice_do_reset(), it will eventually
complete the rebuild and call mutex_unlock(&pf->adapter->rebuild_lock),
dereferencing the freed adapter structure.

[Severity: High]
Similarly, does this reset subtask release the rebuild_lock on a potentially
freed adapter structure if the remove timeout expired while the rebuild was
in progress?
