Subject: [PATCH 2.6.35-rc1] net-next: vmxnet3 fixes [4/5] Do not reset when
 the device is not opened


Do not reset when the device is not opened

If a reset is scheduled, and the device goes thru close and open, it
may happen that reset and open may run in parallel.
The reset code now bails out if the device is not opened.
