[ofw] [Patch][IPoIB_NDIS6_CM] Reset flow wrong assertion

[Alex Naslednikov]

The purpose of __ipoib_complete_reset() is to send to NDIS async compete on reset process accomplishment and set "p_adapter->reset = FALSE";
But __ipoib_complete_reset()  can be called independently from several async threads (i.e. running in parallel), where the main of them are:
1.     __ipoib_adapter_reset()
2.     Ipoib_pnp_cb()
It seems like bug, but:
1.     We  check for adapter state within __ipoib_complete_reset() . This is to sync between NDIS and IBAL async PNP events !
2.     According to the status, we have 2 possibilites:
a.     State == IB_PNP_PORT_REMOVE  - than complete the reset now (and ASSERT(p_adapter->reset == TRUE) should be true there))
b.     Otherwise (IB_PNP_PORT_ADD), register back to pnp events
i.     If succeed, do not complete reset here - reset process will be completed by ipoib_pnp_cb() thread.
ii.    If not, reset process will be completed now (ASSERT(p_adapter->reset == TRUE) should be true there)

How it can happen ?
NDIS detected checked_for_hung while IPoIB get PORT_DOWN/UP pnp events
