bnxt trusts the events generated by the device which may lead to kernel
crashes. These are extremely rare but they do happen. For a while
I thought crashing may be intentional, because device reporting invalid
completions should never happen, and having a core dump could be useful
if it does. But in practice I haven't found any clues in the core dumps,
and panic_on_warn exists.

Series was tested by forcing the recovery path manually. Because of
how rare the real crashes are I can't confirm it works for the actual
device errors until it's been widely deployed.

v2:
 - factor out the reset scheduling
 - also add a check on the XDP path
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230710205611.1198878-1-kuba@kernel.org/
