bnx2x: Prevent an illegal pointer dereference during panic
During a panic, the driver tries to print the Management FW buffer of recent commands. To do so, the driver reads the address of that buffer from a known address. If the buffer is unavailable (e.g., PCI reads don't work, MCP is failing, etc.), the driver will try to access the address it has read, possibly causing a kernel panic. This check 'sanitizes' the access, validating the read value is indeed a valid address inside the management FW's buffers. The patch also removes a read outside the scope of the buffer, which resulted in some unrelated chraracters appearing in the log.
