When the dim worker is scheduled, if it fails to acquire the lock,
dim may not be able to return to the working state later.

For example, the following single queue scenario:
   1. The dim worker of rxq0 is scheduled, and the dim status is
      changed to DIM_APPLY_NEW_PROFILE;
   2. The ethtool command is holding rtnl lock;
   3. Since the rtnl lock is already held, virtnet_rx_dim_work fails
      to acquire the lock and exits;

Then, even if net_dim is invoked again, it cannot work because the
state is not restored to DIM_START_MEASURE.

Patch looks fine but I wonder if a delayed schedule is better.

The work in net_dim() core layer uses non-delayed-work, and the two 
cannot be mixed.

Thanks,
Heng
