Sukadev Bhattiprolu db9f0e8bf7 ibmvnic: Allow extra failures before disabling
If auto-priority-failover (APF) is enabled and there are at least two
backing devices of different priorities, some resets like fail-over,
change-param etc can cause at least two back to back failovers. (Failover
from high priority backing device to lower priority one and then back
to the higher priority one if that is still functional).

Depending on the timimg of the two failovers it is possible to trigger
a "hard" reset and for the hard reset to fail due to failovers. When this
occurs, the driver assumes that the network is unstable and disables the
VNIC for a 60-second "settling time". This in turn can cause the ethtool
command to fail with "No such device" while the vnic automatically recovers
a little while later.

Given that it's possible to have two back to back failures, allow for extra
failures before disabling the vnic for the settling time.

Fixes: f15fde9d47 ("ibmvnic: delay next reset if hard reset fails")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
