4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 29118ab962d5476fdc65fae312ac38db68092d78 ] Since hclgevf_reset_wait() is used to wait for the hardware to complete the reset, it is not necessary to hold the rtnl_lock during hclgevf_reset_wait(). So this patch releases the lock for the duration of hclgevf_reset_wait().
