Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH] ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a
	time.

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@...el.com>

Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause
the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag
to be set incorrectly.  In the worse case this is causing
the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which
results in an interface that can't be brought up.

Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if
it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bits are cleared just before calling the work function.
This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work
function to start and meanwhile schedule another task.

This patch moves the IN_IXGBE_WATCHDOG_TASK flag into the
adapter state and uses test_and_set_bit/clear_bit operations
to guarentee this works as expected.

This bug is actualized by changing DCB settings or doing
extended cable pull tests.
