Subject: [PATCH net] bnxt_en: bring back rtnl_lock() in bnxt_fw_reset_task()

RTNL assertion failed in netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() in the
error recovery path:

RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (3178)
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3392 at net/core/dev.c:3178 netif_set_real_num_tx_queues+0x1fd/0x210

Call Trace:

Bring back the rtnl_lock() for now in bnxt_fw_reset_task().
