[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH] i40e: prevent overlapping tx_timeout recover

From: Alan Brady <alan.brady at intel.com>

If a TX hang occurs, we attempt to recover by incrementally resetting.
If we're starved for CPU time, it's possible the reset doesn't actually
complete (or even fire) before another tx_timeout fires causing us to
fly through the different resets without actually doing them.

This adds a bit to set and check if a timeout recovery is already
pending and, if so, bail out of tx_timeout.  The bit will get cleared at
the end of i40e_rebuild when reset is complete.
