Subject: [PATCH] net/ibmvnic: Fix RTNL deadlock during device reset
References: bnc#1115431
Patch-mainline: queued
Git-repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git
Git-commit: 986103e7920cabc0b910749e77ae5589d3934d52
Commit a5681e20b541 ("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.
