be2net: Fix to avoid firmware update when interface is not open.
Since interrupts are enabled only when open is called on the interface, Attempting a firmware update operation when interface is down could lead to partial success or failure of operation. This fix fails the request if netif_running is false. Signed-off-by: Sarveshwar Bandi <Sarveshwar.Bandi@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
