Subject: [net] igb: fix rtnl race in PM resume path

From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@...e.de>

Since the caller (PM resume code) is not the one holding rtnl, when taking the
'else' branch rtnl may be released at any moment, thereby defeating the whole
purpose of this code block.

patch.

The following are changes since commit 0e0c55165b638e96c8d7097ea638aa368daa268a:
