[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.
