bnx2x: prevent FW assert on low mem during unload
Buffers for FW statistics were allocated at an inappropriate time; In a machine where the driver encounters problems allocating all of its queues, the driver would still create FW requests for the statistics of the non-existing queues. The wrong order of memory allocation could lead to zeroed statistics messages being sent, leading to fw assert in case function 0 was down. This changes the order of allocations, guaranteeing that statistic requests will only be generated for actual queues.
