Error recovery, PCIe AER, resume, and TX timeout will invoke bnxt_open()
with netdev_lock only. This will cause RTNL assert failure in
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(), netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(),
and netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().
Example error recovery assert:
RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (3178)
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 3392 at net/core/dev.c:3178 netif_set_real_num_tx_queues+0x1fd/0x210
Call Trace:
<TASK>
? __pfx_bnxt_msix+0x10/0x10 [bnxt_en]
__bnxt_open_nic+0x1ef/0xb20 [bnxt_en]

bnxt_fw_reset_task+0x21f/0x780 [bnxt_en]
process_scheduled_works+0x9d/0x400
For now, bring back rtnl_lock() in all these code paths that can invoke
bnxt_open(). In the bnxt_queue_start() error path, we don't have
rtnl_lock held so we just change it to call netif_close() instead of
bnxt_reset_task() for simplicity. This error path is unlikely so it
should be fine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
