From: Vitaly Lifshits <vitaly.lifshits@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 21f857f0321d0d0ea9b1a758bd55dc63d1cb2437 ] A possible race condition was found in e1000_reset_task, after discovering a similar issue in igb driver via commit 024a8168b749 ("igb: reinit_locked() should be called with rtnl_lock"). Added rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() to avoid this.
