Subject: tg3 reset_task question

Can't this BUG_ON be hit very easily:

static void tg3_irq_quiesce(struct tg3 *tp)
{
        BUG_ON(tp->irq_sync);
...
}

tg3_reset_task could easily be racing with another thread, that calls
tg3_full_lock(tp, 1); e.g tg3_change_mtu. Maybe I'm missing something
obvious.
