[BNX2]: Fix rtnl deadlock in bnx2_close
This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close(). The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1) instead of yield() in the original patch. flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the netdev is freed.
