Subject: [PATCH 3.10 107/268] vmxnet3: Wake queue from reset work

From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@...e.com>

commit 277964e19e1416ca31301e113edb2580c81a8b66 upstream.

vmxnet3_reset_work() expects tx queues to be stopped (via
vmxnet3_quiesce_dev -> netif_tx_disable). However, this races with the
netif_wake_queue() call in netif_tx_timeout() such that the driver's
start_xmit routine may be called unexpectedly, triggering one of the BUG_ON
in vmxnet3_map_pkt with a stack trace like this:
