tg3: Allow NVRAM programming when interface is down
Previously, when the interface was brought down, the driver would set
the power state to D3hot. In D3hot, we don't have access to the NVRAM.
This patch removes the call to set the power state to PCI_D3hot in
close. A following patch will implement the shutdown handler to properly
set the D3hot state when the system is going down.
Doing the above means that the TG3_PHYFLG_IS_LOW_POWER should not be
checked to validate access to the NVRAM.
