lock to modify the
card's MAC address, while the recovery failed at the same time due to the card
being removed. Hence qeth_l2_set_mac_address (implicitly holding the rtnl lock)
was waiting on qeth_l2_recover, which deadlocked when waiting on the rtnl lock.
This patch uses rtnl_trylock instead of rtnl_lock in the recovery thread. If the
lock cannot be obtained, the interface will be left up, but the card state
remains in CARD_STATE_RECOVER, which will prevent any further activities on the
card.
