[PATCH net] ibmvnic: Wait until reset is complete to set carrier on

[PATCH net] ibmvnic: Wait until reset is complete to set carrier on

[Thomas Falcon]

Pushes back setting the carrier on until the end of the reset
code. This resolves a bug where a watchdog timer was detecting
that a TX queue had stalled before the adapter reset was complete.
