net/mlx5: Fix deadlock in sync reset flow

The sync reset flow can lead to the following deadlock when
poll_sync_reset() is called by timer softirq and waiting on
del_timer_sync() for the same timer. Fix that by moving the part of the
flow that waits for the timer to reset_reload_work.

It fixes the following kernel Trace:
RIP: 0010:del_timer_sync+0x32/0x40
...
Call Trace:
