Jacob Keller dfc4ff6446 i40e: don't hold RTNL lock for the entire reset
We recently refactored i40e_do_reset() and its friends to be able to
hold the RTNL lock only for the portions that actually need to be
protected. However, a separate refactoring added several new callers of
these functions during the PCIe error recovery and suspend/resume
cycles.

When merging the changes together, it was not noticed that we could
reduce the RTNL scope by letting the reset function handle the lock
itself, as previously it was not possible.

Fix this by replacing these call sites to indicate that the reset
function should handle its own lock. This enables multiple PFs to reset
or resume simultaneously without serializing the resets via the RTNL
lock. The end result is that on systems with lots of PFs and VFs the
resets don't stall waiting for each other to finish.

It is probable that we can also do the same for i40e_do_reset_safe, but
this author did not research that change carefully enough to be
confident.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
