While injecting PCIe errors to the upstream PCIe switch of a BCM57810 NIC, system hangs/crashes were observed. After several calls to bnx2x_tx_timout() complete, bnx2x_nic_unload() is called to free up HW resources and bnx2x_napi_disable() is called to release NAPI objects. Later, when the EEH driver calls bnx2x_io_slot_reset() to complete the recovery process, bnx2x attempts to disable NAPI again by calling bnx2x_napi_disable() and freeing resources which have already been freed, resulting in a hang or crash. Introduce a new flag to track the HW resource and NAPI allocation state, refactor duplicated code into a single function, check page pool allocation status before freeing, and reduces debug output when a TX timeout event occurs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
