This patch series fixes some shortcomings with the current
VNIC device command implementation. The first patch fixes
the initialization of driver completion structures used
for device commands. Additionally, all waits for device
commands are bounded with a timeout in the event that the
device does not respond or becomes inoperable. Finally,
serialize queries to retain the integrity of device return
codes.

ibmvnic: Fix completion structure initialization
ibmvnic: Terminate waiting device threads after loss of service
ibmvnic: Bound waits for device queries
ibmvnic: Serialize device queries
