The slow path ulp_start and ulp_stop calls to the bnx2i driver
are sleepable calls and therefore should not be protected using
rcu_read_lock.  Fix it by using mutex and setting a bit during
these calls.  cnic_unregister_device() will now wait for the bit
to clear before completing the call.

The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by
iSCSI.  Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those
used for ethernet networking.

iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address.  The CNIC driver
creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as
ARP, etc in userspace.
