Subject: [net-next v2 13/14] i40e: Bypass timeout recovery level 0 so as to not cause MDD

From: Anjali Singhai Jain <anjali.singhai@...el.com>

When a Tx hang happens, usually the Tx queue disable fails. At
this point if we try to recover by a VSI reinit the HW gets
unhappy and we get a Malicious Driver Detect (MDD) event.
HW expects a PF reset if a queue disable fails, if we don't do a PF
reset and restart the queue we get an MDD.  This patch makes sure we
do a PF reset on Tx hang and that way we avoid any MDD because of Tx
queue disable failure.
