NTB: BWD Link Recovery
The BWD NTB device will drop the link if an error is encountered on the
point-to-point PCI bridge. The link will stay down until all errors are
cleared and the link is re-established. On link down, check to see if
the error is detected, if so do the necessary housekeeping to try and
recover from the error and reestablish the link.
There is a potential race between the 2 NTB devices recovering at the
same time. If the times are synchronized, the link will not recover and the
driver will be stuck in this loop forever. Add a random interval to the
recovery time to prevent this race.
