This reverts commit aa626da947.
Detaching device during reset was not fully fixing the rtnl locking issue,
as there could be a situation where callback was already in progress before
detaching netdev.
Furthermore, detaching netdevice causes TX timeouts if traffic is running.
To reproduce:
ip netns exec ns1 iperf3 -c $PEER_IP -t 600 --logfile /dev/null &
while :; do
for i in 200 7000 400 5000 300 3000 ; do
ip netns exec ns1 ip link set $VF1 mtu $i
sleep 2
done
sleep 10
done
Currently, callbacks such as iavf_change_mtu() wait for the reset.
If the reset fails to acquire the rtnl_lock, they schedule the netdev
update for later while continuing the reset flow. Operations like MTU
changes are performed under the rtnl_lock. Therefore, when the operation
finishes, another callback that uses rtnl_lock can start.
