From: Pixel Ding Pixel.Ding@amd.com

[ Upstream commit dce1e131dd4dc68099ff1b70aa03cd2d0acf8639 ]

KIQ ring submission is used for register accessing on SRIOV VF that could happen both in irq enabled and irq disabled cases. Inversion lock could happen on adev->ring_lru_list_lock, while this operation is useless and just adds overhead in this use case.
