tp->lock is held in this code path.  If synchronize_irq() sleeps in
wait_event(desc->wait_for_threads, ...), we'll get the warning.

The synchronize_irq() call is to wait for any tg3 irq handler to finish
so that it is guaranteed that next time it will see the CHIP_RESETTING
flag and do nothing.

Not sure if we can drop the tp->lock before we call synchronize_irq()
and then take it again after synchronize_irq().
