Subject: [net-next 18/20] fm10k: force link to remain down for at least a second on resume events

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

When we resume from an AER recovery with many active VFs, the PF sees
many spurious link up and link down events. Prevent this by delaying
link down for at least one second after the resume event.
