    net/bnx2x: Prevent access to a freed page in page_pool
    
    [ Upstream commit d27e2da94a42655861ca4baea30c8cd65546f25d ]
    
    Fix race condition leading to system crash during EEH error handling
    
    During EEH error recovery, the bnx2x driver's transmit timeout logic
    could cause a race condition when handling reset tasks. The
    bnx2x_tx_timeout() schedules reset tasks via bnx2x_sp_rtnl_task(),
    which ultimately leads to bnx2x_nic_unload(). In bnx2x_nic_unload()
    SGEs are freed using bnx2x_free_rx_sge_range(). However, this could
    overlap with the EEH driver's attempt to reset the device using
    bnx2x_io_slot_reset(), which also tries to free SGEs. This race
    condition can result in system crashes due to accessing freed memory
    locations in bnx2x_free_rx_sge()
    
    799  static inline void bnx2x_free_rx_sge(struct bnx2x *bp,
    800                             struct bnx2x_fastpath *fp, u16 index)
    801  {
    802     struct sw_rx_page *sw_buf = &fp->rx_page_ring[index];
    803     struct page *page = sw_buf->page;
    ....
    where sw_buf was set to NULL after the call to dma_unmap_page()
    by the preceding thread.

    To solve this issue, we need to verify page pool allocations before
    freeing.
