bnx2x: fix slowpath null crash
When "NETDEV WATCHDOG: em4 (bnx2x): transmit queue 2 timed out" occurs, BNX2X_SP_RTNL_TX_TIMEOUT is set. In the function bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task, bnx2x_nic_unload and bnx2x_nic_load are executed to shutdown and open NIC. In the function bnx2x_nic_load, bnx2x_alloc_mem allocates dma failure. The message "bnx2x: [bnx2x_alloc_mem:8399(em4)]Can't allocate memory" pops out. The variable slowpath is set to NULL. When shutdown the NIC, the function bnx2x_nic_unload is called. In the function bnx2x_nic_unload, the following functions are executed. bnx2x_chip_cleanup bnx2x_set_storm_rx_mode bnx2x_set_q_rx_mode bnx2x_set_q_rx_mode bnx2x_config_rx_mode bnx2x_set_rx_mode_e2 In the function bnx2x_set_rx_mode_e2, the variable slowpath is operated. Then the crash occurs. To fix this crash, the variable slowpath is checked. And in the function bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task, after dma memory allocation fails, another shutdown and open NIC is executed.
