[ Upstream commit b16939b59cc00231a75d224fd058d22c9d064976 ]

bnxt_fw_reset_task() which runs from a workqueue can race with
bnxt_remove_one(). For example, if firmware reset and VF FLR are
happening at about the same time.

bnxt_remove_one() already cancels the workqueue and waits for it
to finish, but we need to do this earlier before the devlink
reporters are destroyed. This will guarantee that
the devlink reporters will always be valid when bnxt_fw_reset_task()
is still running.

Fixes: b148bb238c02 ("bnxt_en: Fix possible crash in bnxt_fw_reset_task().")
