[PATCH] prism54: fix potential race in reset scheduling
NET: prism54 - fix potential race in reset scheduling
There appears to be a race in reset scheduling logic - thread
responsible for reseting the interface should clear "reset
pending" flag before restarting the queue, otherwise timeout
handler might not schedule another reset even if it is needed.
This race is mostly theoretical as far as I can see but a race
nonetheless.
