Subject: [PATCH 5.9 018/105] ibmvnic: delay next reset if hard reset fails

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit f15fde9d47b887b406f5e76490d601cfc26643c9 ]

If auto-priority failover is enabled, the backing device needs time
to settle if hard resetting fails for any reason. Add a delay of 60
seconds before retrying the hard-reset.

Fixes: 2770a7984db5 ("ibmvnic: Introduce hard reset recovery")
