[PATCH 4/7] vxge: transmit timeout deadlock

[Jon Mason <jon.mason@exar.com>]

Use a workqueue to handle the device reset during a transmit timeout, as
there can be a deadlock during bringup.  Also, set the netif carrier off
before the watchdog reset is started to prevent the timeout from
reoccurring while still processing the first.
