Subject: [PATCH] bnx2: reset_task is crashing the kernel. Fixing it.

Acutally if a BNX2 interface gets time outs, the reset_task is
called to restart the interface. But, the NIC is turned off with
some packages to transmitt, and this causes the function
napi_disable() to loop forever, crashing the kernel.
