Subject: [net-next v2 02/14] i40evf: fix oops in watchdog handler

From: Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@...el.com>

The Tx watchdog handler runs in interrupt context, so it would cause an
oops when sending an admin queue message to request a reset, because the
admin queue functions use spinlocks.

Instead, set a flag and let the reset task handle sending the request.
