Clear ->failover_pending flag that may have been set in the previous pass of registering CRQ. If we don't clear, a subsequent ibmvnic_open() call would be misled into thinking a failover is pending and assuming that the reset worker thread would open the adapter. If this pass of registering the CRQ succeeds (i.e there is no transport event), there wouldn't be a reset worker thread. This would leave the adapter unconfigured and require manual intervention to bring it up during boot.
