Subject: [PATCH] tg3: add new module param to force device power down on reboot

The bug #1917471 was fixed in commit 2ca1c94ce0b6 ("tg3: Disable tg3
device on system reboot to avoid triggering AER") but was reintroduced
by commit 9fc3bc764334 ("tg3: power down device only on
SYSTEM_POWER_OFF").

The problem described in #1917471 is still consistently replicable on
reboots on Dell Servers (i.e. R750xs with BCM5720 LOM), causing NMIs
(i.e. NMI received for unknown reason 38 on cpu 0) after 9fc3bc764334
was committed.

The problem is detected also by the Lifecycle controller and logged as
a PCI Bus Error for the device.

As the problems addressed by 2ca1c94ce0b6 and by 9fc3bc764334 requires
opposite strategies, a new module param "force_pwr_down_on_reboot"
<bool> is introduced to fix both scenarios:

	force_pwr_down_on_reboot = 0/N/n = disable, keep the current
									   behavior, don't force dev
									   power down on reboot

	force_pwr_down_on_reboot = 1/Y/y = enable, revert to the
									   behavior of 2ca1c94ce0b6,
									   force dev power down on reboot

Fixes: 9fc3bc764334 ("tg3: power down device only on SYSTEM_POWER_OFF")
