Subject: [PATCH 4.19 007/118] net: hns3: bugfix for rtnl_locks range in the hclgevf_reset()

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().
