ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a time.
Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause
the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag
to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing
the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which
results in an interface that can't be brought up.
Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if
it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bits are cleared just before calling the work function.
This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work
function to start and meanwhile schedule another task.
This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is
actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended
cable pull or reset tests.
