Ivan Vecera aa626da947 iavf: Detach device during reset task
iavf_reset_task() takes crit_lock at the beginning and holds
it during whole call. The function subsequently calls
iavf_init_interrupt_scheme() that grabs RTNL. Problem occurs
when userspace initiates during the reset task any ndo callback
that runs under RTNL like iavf_open() because some of that
functions tries to take crit_lock. This leads to classic A-B B-A
deadlock scenario.

To resolve this situation the device should be detached in
iavf_reset_task() prior taking crit_lock to avoid subsequent
ndos running under RTNL and reattach the device at the end.
