Subject: [PATCH -next] qlge: fix a eeh handler to not add a pending timer

On some ocasions the function qlge_io_resume() tries to add a
pending timer, which causes the system to hit the BUG() on
add_timer() function.

This patch only add a new timer if the timer is not pending, if so,
it just reload it.
