Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.18 08/39] net: hns3: bugfix for rtnl_lock's range in the hclge_reset()

From: Huazhong Tan <tanhuazhong@...wei.com>

[ 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().
