Subject: [net PATCH v2 1/7] bnx2x: Avoid sending multiple statistics
 queries

From: Dmitry Kravkov <dmitry@...adcom.com>

During traffic when DCB is enabled, it is possible for multiple instances
of statistics queries to be sent to the chip - this may cause the FW to assert.

This patch prevents the sending of an additional instance of statistics query
while the previous query hasn't completed.
