This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is
called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on
the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will
try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close().
The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run
from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1)
instead of yield() in the original patch.
flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the
netdev is freed.

This patch contains the following possible cleanups/fixes:
- use C99 struct initializers
- make a few arrays and structs static
- remove a few uses of literal 0 as NULL pointer
- use convenience function instead of cast+dereference in bnx2_ioctl()
- remove superfluous casts to u8 * in calls to readl/writel
