4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit d134e486e831defd26130770181f01dfc6195f7d ]
When netxen_rom_fast_read() fails, "bios" is left uninitialized and may contain random value, thus should not be used.
The fix ensures that if netxen_rom_fast_read() fails, we return "-EIO".
