It occured during some stress testing, in which the reporter was repeatedly
removing and modprobing the bnx2 module while doing various other random
operations on the bnx2 registered net device.  Noting that this error occured on
a serdes based device, we noted that there were a few ethtool operations (most
notably self_test and set_phys_id) that have execution paths that lead into
bnx2_setup_serdes_phy.  This function is notable because it executes a mod_timer
call, which starts the bp->timer running.  Currently bnx2 is setup to assume
that this timer only nees to be stopped when bnx2_close or bnx2_suspend is
called.  Since the above ethtool operations are not gated on the net device
having been opened however, that assumption is incorrect, and can lead to the
timer still running after the module has been removed, leading to the oops above
(as well as other simmilar oopses).

Fix the problem by ensuring that the timer is stopped when pci_device_unregister
is called.
