4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit a963052e539887df481d4d3a6ad4c92ca6461852 ] Since hclge_reset_wait() is used to wait for the hardware to complete the reset, it is not necessary to hold the rtnl_lock during hclge_reset_wait(). So this patch releases the lock for the duration of hclge_reset_wait().
