[BNX2]: Reduce spurious INTA interrupts.
Spurious interrupts are often encountered especially on systems using the 8259 PIC mode. This is because the I/O write to deassert the interrupt is posted and won't get to the chip immediately. As a result, the IRQ may remain asserted after the IRQ handler exits, causing spurious interrupts. Add read back to flush the I/O write to deassert the IRQ immediately. We also store the last_status_idx immediately in the IRQ handler to help detect whether the interrupt is ours or not when the IRQ is entered again before ->poll gets called.
