ice: introduce clear_reset_state operation
When hardware is reset, the VF relies on the VFGEN_RSTAT register to detect when the VF is finished resetting. This is a tri-state register where 0 indicates a reset is in progress, 1 indicates the hardware is done resetting, and 2 indicates that the software is done resetting. Currently the PF driver relies on the device hardware resetting VFGEN_RSTAT when a global reset occurs. This works ok, but it does mean that the VF might not immediately notice a reset when the driver first detects that the global reset is occurring. This is also problematic for Scalable IOV, because there is no read/write equivalent VFGEN_RSTAT register for the Scalable VSI type. Instead, the Scalable IOV VFs will need to emulate this register. To support this, introduce a new VF operation, clear_reset_state, which is called when the PF driver first detects a global reset. The Single Root IOV implementation can just write to VFGEN_RSTAT to ensure it's cleared immediately, without waiting for the actual hardware reset to begin. The Scalable IOV implementation will use this as part of its tracking of the reset status to allow properly reporting the emulated VFGEN_RSTAT to the VF driver.
