In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hns3: do not allow call hns3_nic_net_open repeatedly

hns3_nic_net_open() is not allowed to called repeatly, but there
is no checking for this. When doing device reset and setup tc
concurrently, there is a small oppotunity to call hns3_nic_net_open
repeatedly, and cause kernel bug by calling napi_enable twice.

The calltrace information is like below:

Once hns3_nic_net_open() is excute success, the flag
HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN will be cleared. So add checking for this
flag, directly return when HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN is no set.
