netxen: Avoid firmware load in PCI probe
Loading firmware during PCI probe can lead to incorrect initialization,
rendering the card unusable until next reboot. This was introduced a while
ago as a workaround for firmware bug, a better workaround was submitted for
this a while ago. So removing original hack that loads firmware during probe.
