5780 cards cannot have jumbo frames and TSO enabled together.  When
jumbo frames are enabled by setting the MTU, the TSO feature must be
cleared.  This is done indirectly by calling netdev_update_features()
which will call tg3_fix_features() to actually clear the flags.

netdev_update_features() will also trigger a new netlink message for
the feature change event which will result in a call to
tg3_get_stats64() which deadlocks on the tg3 lock.

Fix this by dropping the tg3 lock while calling
netdev_update_features().  This is safe as the device is down and the
hardware is stopped.
