r8152: Hold the rtnl_lock for all of reset
As of commit d9962b0d ("r8152: Block future register access if register access fails") there is a race condition that can happen between the USB device reset thread and napi_enable() (not) getting called during rtl8152_open(). Specifically: * While rtl8152_open() is running we get a register access error that's _not_ -ENODEV and queue up a USB reset. * rtl8152_open() exits before calling napi_enable() due to any reason (including usb_submit_urb() returning an error). In that case: * Since the USB reset is perform in a separate thread asynchronously, it can run at anytime USB device lock is not held - even before rtl8152_open() has exited with an error and caused __dev_open() to clear the __LINK_STATE_START bit. * The rtl8152_pre_reset() will notice that the netif_running() returns true (since __LINK_STATE_START wasn't cleared) so it won't exit early. * rtl8152_pre_reset() will then hang in napi_disable() because napi_enable() was never called. We can fix the race by making sure that the r8152 reset routines don't run at the same time as we're opening the device. Specifically we need the reset routines in their entirety rely on the return value of netif_running(). The only way to reliably depend on that is for them to hold the rntl_lock() mutex for the duration of reset. Grabbing the rntl_lock() mutex for the duration of reset seems like a long time, but reset is not expected to be common and the rtnl_lock() mutex is already held for long durations since the core grabs it around the open/close calls.
