bnxt_en: Add bnxt_fw_exception() to handle fatal firmware errors.
This call will handle fatal firmware errors by forcing a reset on the firmware. The master function driver will carry out the forced reset. The sequence will go through the same bnxt_fw_reset_task() workqueue. This fatal reset differs from the non-fatal reset at the beginning stages. From the BNXT_FW_RESET_STATE_ENABLE_DEV state onwards where the firmware is coming out of reset, it is practically identical to the non-fatal reset. The next patch will add the periodic heartbeat check and the devlink reporter to report the fatal event and to initiate the bnxt_fw_exception() call.
