Michael Chan f9b76ebd49 bnxt_en: Fix race conditions in .ndo_get_stats64().
.ndo_get_stats64() may not be protected by RTNL and can race with
.ndo_stop() or other ethtool operations that can free the statistics
memory.  Fix it by setting a new flag BNXT_STATE_READ_STATS and then
proceeding to read statistics memory only if the state is OPEN.  The
close path that frees the memory clears the OPEN state and then waits
for the BNXT_STATE_READ_STATS to clear before proceeding to free the
statistics memory.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
