ibmvnic: delay complete()
If we get CRQ_INIT, we set errno to -EIO and first call complete() to notify the waiter. Then we try to schedule a FAILOVER reset. If this occurs while adapter is in PROBING state, ibmvnic_reset() changes the error code to EAGAIN and returns without scheduling the FAILOVER. The purpose of setting error code to EAGAIN is to ask the waiter to retry. But due to the earlier complete() call, the waiter may already have seen the -EIO response and decided not to retry. This can cause intermittent failures when bringing up ibmvnic adapters during boot, specially in in kexec/kdump kernels. Defer the complete() call until after scheduling the reset. Also streamline the error code to EAGAIN. Don't see why we need EIO sometimes. All 3 callers of ibmvnic_reset_init() can handle EAGAIN.
