Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference in reopen failure path

From: Sankar Patchineelam <sankar.patchineelam@...adcom.com>

Net device reset can fail when the h/w or f/w is in a bad state.
Subsequent netdevice open fails in bnxt_hwrm_stat_ctx_alloc().
The cleanup invokes bnxt_hwrm_resource_free() which inturn
calls bnxt_disable_int().  In this routine, the code segment

if (ring->fw_ring_id != INVALID_HW_RING_ID)
   BNXT_CP_DB(cpr->cp_doorbell, cpr->cp_raw_cons);

results in NULL pointer dereference as cpr->cp_doorbell is not yet
initialized, and fw_ring_id is zero.

The fix is to initialize cpr fw_ring_id to INVALID_HW_RING_ID before
bnxt_init_chip() is invoked.
