During channel reconfiguration (e.g., ethtool private flags changes),
the driver can trigger a kernel BUG_ON in dql_completed() with the error
"kernel BUG at lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c:99".
The issue occurs in the following sequence:
During mlx5e_safe_switch_params(), old channels are deactivated via
mlx5e_deactivate_txqsq(). New channels are created and activated, taking
ownership of the netdev_queues and their BQL state.
When old channels are closed via mlx5e_close_txqsq(), there may be
pending TX descriptors (sq->cc != sq->pc) that were in-flight during the
deactivation.
mlx5e_free_txqsq_descs() frees these pending descriptors and attempts to
complete them via netdev_tx_completed_queue().
However, the BQL state (dql->num_queued and dql->num_completed) have
been reset in mlx5e_activate_txqsq and belong to the new queue owner,
leading to dql->num_queued - dql->num_completed < nbytes.
This triggers BUG_ON(count > num_queued - num_completed) in
dql_completed().
