[TG3]: Fix 5761 PXEboot crash
When 5761 devices boot the machine using PXEboot, PXE leaves the device active when it terminates. The tg3 driver has code to detect this condition and resets the device during initialization. On 5761 devices, device resets involve sending a driver state update message to the APE on the 5761. However, during this initialization stage, communications to the APE registers have not yet been set up. The driver then dereferences a NULL pointer and crashes the machine. The fix is to move the APE register access setup earlier in the initialization code to cover this condition.
