[ 17/53] tg3: Avoid panic from reserved statblk field access

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Carlson <mcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f891ea1634ce41f5f47ae40d8594809f4cd2ca66 ]

When RSS is enabled, interrupt vector 0 does not receive any rx traffic.
The rx producer index fields for vector 0's status block should be
considered reserved in this case.  This patch changes the code to
respect these reserved fields, which avoids a kernel panic when these
fields take on non-zero values.
