The cnic module is responsible for initializing various bnx2x structs
via callbacks provided by the bnx2x module.
One such struct is the queue object for the FCoE queue.

If a device is working in AFEX mode and its configuration allows FCoE yet 
the cnic module is not loaded, it's very likely a null pointer dereference
will occur, as the bnx2x will erroneously access the FCoE's queue object.

Prevent said access until cnic properly registers itself.

Hi Dave,

This small patch prevents a possible null pointer dereference in bnx2x.

Please consider applying it to `net'.

Thanks,
Yuval

Applied, thanks.
