Subject: [PATCH 5.4 042/129] bnxt_en: Dont query FW when netif_running() is false.

From: Pavan Chebbi <pavan.chebbi@...adcom.com>

[ Upstream commit c1c2d77408022a398a1a7c51cf20488c922629de ]

In rare conditions like two stage OS installation, the
ethtool's get_channels function may be called when the
device is in D3 state, leading to uncorrectable PCI error.
Check netif_running() first before making any query to FW
which involves writing to BAR.

Fixes: db4723b3cd2d ("bnxt_en: Check max_tx_scheduler_inputs value from firmware.")
