[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] ixgbevf: fix possible race in the reset subtask

Extend the RTNL lock in ixgbevf_reset_subtask() to protect the state bits
check in addition to the call to ixgbevf_reinit_locked().

This is to make sure that we get the most up-to-date values for the bits
and avoid a possible race when going down.
