bnx2x: Revert UNDI flushing mechanism
Commit 91ebb929 ("bnx2x: Add support for Multi-Function UNDI") [which was later supposedly fixed by de682941 ("bnx2x: Fix UNDI driver unload")] introduced a bug in which in some [yet-to-be-determined] scenarios the alternative flushing mechanism which was to guarantee the Rx buffers are empty before resetting them during device probe will fail. If this happens, when device will be loaded once more a fatal attention will occur; Since this most likely happens in boot from SAN scenarios, the machine will fail to load. Notice this may occur not only in the 'Multi-Function' scenario but in the regular scenario as well, i.e., this introduced a regression in the driver's ability to perform boot from SAN. The patch reverts the mechanism and applies the old scheme to multi-function devices as well as to single-function devices.
