mlxsw: spectrum_acl_tcam: Fix race during rehash delayed work
The purpose of the rehash delayed work is to reduce the number of masks (eRPs) used by an ACL region as the eRP bank is a global and limited resource. This is done in three steps: 1. Creating a new set of masks and a new ACL region which will use the new masks and to which the existing filters will be migrated to. The new region is assigned to 'vregion->region' and the region from which the filters are migrated from is assigned to 'vregion->region2'. 2. Migrating all the filters from the old region to the new region. 3. Destroying the old region and setting 'vregion->region2' to NULL. Only the second steps is performed under the 'vregion->lock' mutex although its comments says that among other things it "Protects consistency of region, region2 pointers". This is problematic as the first step can race with filter insertion from user space that uses 'vregion->region', but under the mutex. Fix by holding the mutex across the entirety of the delayed work and not only during the second step.
