BNX2: fix a Null Pointer for stats_blk
we have two processes to do: P1#: ifconfig eth0 down; which will call bnx2_close, then will , and set Null to stats_blk P2#: ifconfig eth0; which will call bnx2_get_stats64, it will use stats_blk. In one case: --P1#-- --P2#-- stats_blk(no null) bnx2_free_mem ->bp->stats_blk = NULL GET_64BIT_NET_STATS then it will cause 'NULL Pointer' Problem. it is as well with 'ethtool -S ethx'. Allocate the statistics block at probe time so that this problem is impossible Signed-off-by: Wang Weidong <wangweidong1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
