bnx2x: Fix statistics gathering on link change
Since driver statistics flow access MACs and those might reset during link re-configurations, when we're about to change link properties we have to make sure that statistics are not operational. Statisics would be re-enabled [i.e., gathering of statistics would re-commence] once physical link is achieved again. Since driver employs a link-flap avoidance scheme, there are scenarios where driver will receive no indication that the new link is up, and as a result the statistics would not be re-enabled. Preventing LFA from working in such cases would guarantee that we'll always receive such indications and thus will fix statistics gathering.
