syz-executor216/5313 is trying to acquire lock:

ffff888033f496f0 ((work_completion)(&adapter->reset_task)){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: __flush_work+0xd2/0xbc0 kernel/workqueue.c:4208

but task is already holding lock:

ffffffff8f2fab48 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: rtnl_nets_lock net/core/rtnetlink.c:341 [inline]
ffffffff8f2fab48 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: rtnl_newlink+0x8db/0x1c70 net/core/rtnetlink.c:4064

which lock already depends on the new lock.
