Eliminar el bloqueo cr\u00edtico. Esto nos libera de la l\u00f3gica propensa a errores de try_locks. Gracias a netdev_lock() de Jakub, ahora es f\u00e1cil, y en la mayor\u00eda de los casos ya est\u00e1bamos protegidos por \u00e9l: reemplazar el bloqueo cr\u00edtico por el bloqueo netdev cuando no era el caso. Lockdep informa que debemos cancelar el trabajo bajo crit_lock [splat1], y ese fue el esquema que hemos seguido principalmente desde [1] de Slawomir. Pero una vez hecho esto, seguimos teniendo interbloqueos [splat2]. As\u00ed que, en lugar de eso, deber\u00edamos analizar el problema m\u00e1s grave, es decir, el \"bloqueo/programaci\u00f3n extra\u00f1o\" de iavf. El primer paso para solucionarlo es eliminar el bloqueo cr\u00edtico. Seguir\u00e9 con una serie de -next que simplifica la programaci\u00f3n/tareas. Cancelar el trabajo sin el bloqueo de netdev (un esquema extra\u00f1o de desbloqueo y bloqueo) para corregir el [splat2] (que ser\u00eda un desastre si hubi\u00e9ramos mantenido el bloqueo cr\u00edtico). Extender la parte protegida de iavf_watchdog_task() para incluir la programaci\u00f3n de m\u00e1s trabajo.
