During PCI error recovery process, specifically on eeh_err_detected() we might have a NULL netdev struct, hence a direct dereference will lead to a kernel oops. This was observed with latest upstream kernel (v4.12-rc2) on Chelsio adapter T422-CR in PowerPC machines. This patch checks for NULL pointer and avoids the crash, both in eeh_err_detected() and eeh_resume(). Also, we avoid to trigger a fatal error or to try disabling interrupts on FW during PCI error recovery, because: (a) driver might not be able to accurately access PCI regions in this case, and (b) trigger a fatal error _during_ the recovery steps is a mistake that could prevent the recovery path to complete successfully.
