Subject: bnx2x: add missing napi deletion in error path
From: Michal Schmidt <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 722c6f585088a2c392b4c5d01b87a584bb8fb73f ]
If the hardware initialization fails in bnx2x_nic_load() after adding
napi objects, they would not be deleted. A subsequent attempt to unload
the bnx2x module detects a corruption in the napi list.
Add the missing napi deletion to the error path.
