Subject: [PATCH net v3] mlxbf_gige: call request_irq() after NAPI initialized

The mlxbf_gige driver encounters a NULL pointer exception in
mlxbf_gige_open() when kdump is enabled.  The sequence to reproduce
the exception is as follows:
a) enable kdump
b) trigger kdump via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger"
c) kdump kernel executes
d) kdump kernel loads mlxbf_gige module
e) the mlxbf_gige module runs its open() as the
   the "oob_net0" interface is brought up
f) mlxbf_gige module will experience an exception
   during its open(), something like:

     Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

     ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt ]---

The exception happens because there is a pending RX interrupt before the
call to request_irq(RX IRQ) executes.  Then, the RX IRQ handler fires
immediately after this request_irq() completes. The RX IRQ handler runs
"napi_schedule()" before NAPI is fully initialized via "netif_napi_add()"
and "napi_enable()", both which happen later in the open() logic.

The logic in mlxbf_gige_open() must fully initialize NAPI before any calls
to request_irq() execute.

v3
- code change to add missing phy_stop() was moved to its own commit,
  which has already been merged
- re-worded commit message accordingly
v2
- re-worded commit message and subject for clarity
- updated commit message to mention that phy_stop() was added
  to the error path in mlxbf_gige_open()
