Thomas Falcon e7ddd6af17 net/ibmvnic: Fix RTNL deadlock during device reset
[ Upstream commit 986103e792 ]

Commit a5681e20b5 ("net/ibmnvic: Fix deadlock problem
in reset") made the change to hold the RTNL lock during
driver reset but still calls netdev_notify_peers, which
results in a deadlock. Instead, use call_netdevice_notifiers,
which is functionally the same except that it does not
take the RTNL lock again.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
