Michael Chan 556699341e tg3: Fix soft lockup when tg3_reset_task() fails.
If tg3_reset_task() fails, the device state is left in an inconsistent
state with IFF_RUNNING still set but NAPI state not enabled.  A
subsequent operation, such as ifdown or AER error can cause it to
soft lock up when it tries to disable NAPI state.

Fix it by bringing down the device to !IFF_RUNNING state when
tg3_reset_task() fails.  tg3_reset_task() running from workqueue
will now call tg3_close() when the reset fails.  We need to
modify tg3_reset_task_cancel() slightly to avoid tg3_close()
calling cancel_work_sync() to cancel tg3_reset_task().  Otherwise
cancel_work_sync() will wait forever for tg3_reset_task() to
finish.

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.

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.
