Milton Miller 1b0ff89852 tg3: Avoid NULL pointer dereference in tg3_io_error_detected()
While the driver is probing the adapter, an error may occur before the
netdev structure is allocated and attached to pci_dev. In this case,
not only netdev isn't available, but the tg3 private structure is also
not available as it is just math from the NULL pointer, so dereferences
must be skipped.

The following trace is seen when the error is triggered:

  [1.402247] Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00001a99
  [1.402410] Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000007e33f8

  [1.404265] LR [c0000000007e3164] tg3_io_error_detected+0x74/0x340

This patch avoids the NULL pointer dereference by moving the access after
the netdev NULL pointer check on tg3_io_error_detected(). Also, we add a
check for netdev being NULL on tg3_io_resume() [suggested by Michael Chan].
