Subject: [PATCH 5.16 089/164] ibmvnic: schedule failover only if vioctl fails

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

commit 277f2bb14361790a70e4b3c649e794b75a91a597 upstream.

If client is unable to initiate a failover reset via H_VIOCTL hcall, then
it should schedule a failover reset as a last resort. Otherwise, there is
no need to do a last resort.

Fixes: 334c42414729 ("ibmvnic: improve failover sysfs entry")
