Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: Convert return 0 to return rc

These "return 0;" uses seem wrong as there are
rc variables where error return values are set
but unused.

Hey Ariel/Dmitry

I've no idea what's right here, but the current
code seems wrong. (or at least under-commented)

It seems Dmitry changed these, perhaps to make
it more readable, but the commit log isn't very
instructive.

    bnx2x: Prevent VF race
    
    The mail box containing the Vf-Pf messages is susceptible
    to a race - it's possible for 2 flows to try and write commands,
    causing one to override the other's message.
    Use a mutex to synchronize the access, preventing said race.
