Subject: [PATCH net v3 5/9] ibmvnic: delay next reset if hard reset fails

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ux.ibm.com>

If auto-priority failover is enabled, the backing device needs time
to settle if hard resetting fails for any reason. Add a delay of 60
seconds before retrying the hard-reset.
