When ndis_attach() runs, it has to very briefly initialize the card

in order to query the underlying Windows driver for the station address
and some other properties. There is a slim chance that the card may
receive a packet and indicate it up to us before ndis_attach() can call
ndis_halt_nic(). This is bad, because both the softc structure and
the ifnet structure aren't fully initialized yet: many pointers are
still NULL, so if we make it into ndis_rxeof(), we will panic.

To fix this, we need to do the following:

- Move the calls to IoAllocateWorkItem() to before the call to ndis_init_nic().
- Move the initialization of the RX DPC and status callback function pointers
  to before ndis_init_nic() as well.
- Modify ndis_rxeof() to check if the IFF_DRV_RUNNING flag is set. If it
  isn't, we return any supplied NDIS_PACKETs to the NIC without processing
  them.

This fixes a crash than can occur when activating a wireless NIC in
close proximity to a very busy wireless network, reported by Ryan
