sfc: Never try to stop and start a NIC that is disabled
efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels() each stop and start much
of the NIC, even if it has been disabled. Since efx_start_all() is a
no-op when the NIC is disabled, this is probably harmless in the case
of efx_change_mtu(), but efx_realloc_channels() also reenables
interrupts which could be a bad thing to do.
Change efx_start_all() and efx_start_interrupts() to assert that the
NIC is not disabled, but make efx_stop_interrupts() do nothing if the
NIC is disabled (since it is already stopped), consistent with
efx_stop_all().
Update comments for efx_start_all() and efx_stop_all() to describe
their purpose and preconditions more accurately.
Add a common function to check and log if the NIC is disabled, and use
it in efx_net_open(), efx_change_mtu() and efx_realloc_channels().
