The root cause of this was that there was a free (dma_free_attrs) in the
interrupt context. There was a device discovery/fabric scan in
progress. A module unload was issued which set the UNLOADING flag. As
part of the discovery, after receiving an interrupt a work queue was
scheduled (which involved a work to be queued). Since the UNLOADING
flag is set, the work item was not allocated and the mapped memory had
to be freed. The free occurred in interrupt context leading to system
crash. Delay the driver unload until the fabric scan is complete to
avoid the crash.
