[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix cancelling health check alarm

[Kalesh A P]

From: Kalesh AP <kalesh-anakkur.purayil at broadcom.com>

Driver cancels the health check alarm only if error recovery is enabled
in the FW. This can cause an issue. There is a small window where the
driver receives the async event from fw and port close is invoked
immediately. Driver clears BNXT_FLAG_RECOVERY_ENABLED flag when it gets
the async event from FW. As a result, the health check alarm will not
get canceled during port close and causes a segfault when the alarm tries
to read Heartbeat register.

Fix this by cancelling the health check alarm unconditionally during
port stop.

Fixes: 9d0cbaecc91a ("net/bnxt: support periodic FW health monitoring")
