ixgbe: Add a few safety nets for register writes and descriptor cleanups


There are possible times that a driver may fail to completely initialize,
due to a buggy platform or a buggy kernel.  In those cases, we'd rather
fail gracefully instead of a panic.  Add a few safety checks to some
critical paths to try and prevent a panic in these corner-case situations.
