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.

Fixes: 17c87058 ("ibmvnic: Return error code if init interrupted by transport event")
