Subject: [net-next 10/12] ixgbe: fix possible race in reset subtask

From: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@...el.com>

Similar to ixgbevf, the same possibility for race exists. Extend the RTNL
lock in ixgbe_reset_subtask() to protect the state bits; this is to make
sure that we get the most up-to-date values for the bits and avoid a
possible race when going down.
