bnxt_en: Fix possible crash in bnxt_hwrm_set_coal()

During the error recovery sequence, the rtnl_lock is not held for the
entire duration and some datastructures may be freed during the sequence.
Check for the BNXT_STATE_OPEN flag instead of netif_running() to ensure
that the device is fully operational before proceeding to reconfigure
the coalescing settings.

This will fix a possible crash like this:
