[ Upstream commit 556699341efa98243e08e34401b3f601da91f5a3 ] 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.
