-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Joerg Ahrens <[email protected]>
I am using a Xircom CEM33 pcmcia NIC which has occasional hardware problems.
If the netdev watchdog detects a transmit timeout, do_reset is called which
msleeps - this is illegal in atomic context.
This patch schedules the timeout handling as a workqueue item.
