  - iavf: Fix reset error handling Do not call iavf_close in iavf_reset_task error handling. Doing so can lead     to double call of napi_disable, which can lead to deadlock there. Removing VF would lead to iavf_remove     task being stuck, because it requires crit_lock, which is held by iavf_close. Call iavf_disable_vf if     reset fail, so that driver will clean up remaining invalid resources. During rapid VF resets, HW can fail     to setup VF mailbox. Wrong error handling can lead to iavf_remove being stuck with: [ 5218.999087] iavf     0000:82:01.0: Failed to init adminq: -53 ...
