Subject: [PATCH net] r8169: fix deadlock on RTL8125 in jumbo mtu mode

The original change results in a deadlock if jumbo mtu mode is used.
Reason is that the phydev lock is held when rtl_reset_work() is called
here, and rtl_jumbo_config() calls phy_start_aneg() which also tries
to acquire the phydev lock. Fix this by calling rtl_reset_work()
asynchronously.
