You could alternatively try the following. It should avoid the deadlock,
and when runtime-resuming if __IGB_DOWN is set all we do is marking the
net_device as present (because of PCI D3 -> D0 transition).
I do basically the same in r8169 and it works as intended.

Disclaimer: I don't have an igb-driven device and therefore can't test
the proposal.
