Thomas Falcon eb110410b9 ibmvnic: Fix partial success login retries
In its current state, the driver will handle backing device
login in a loop for a certain number of retries while the
device returns a partial success, indicating that the driver
may need to try again using a smaller number of resources.

The variable it checks to continue retrying may change
over the course of operations, resulting in reallocation
of resources but exits without sending the login attempt.
Guard against this by introducing a boolean variable that
will retain the state indicating that the driver needs to
reattempt login with backing device firmware.

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.
