tg3_free_consistent() calls dma_free_coherent() to free tp->hw_stats
under spinlock and can trigger BUG_ON() in vunmap() because vunmap()
may sleep. Fix it by removing the spinlock and relying on the
TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE flag to prevent race conditions between
tg3_get_stats64() and tg3_free_consistent(). TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE
is always cleared under tp->lock before tg3_free_consistent()
and therefore tg3_get_stats64() can safely access tp->hw_stats
under tp->lock if TG3_FLAG_INIT_COMPLETE is set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
