[PATCH v2 6/7] net/iavf: keep watchdog armed for the whole reset window

The device watchdog polls VFGEN_RSTAT to detect a VF reset and drives
the auto-reset recovery path.
It is disabled when a link-up event arrives, on the assumption that a
working link means no reset is in flight.
That assumption does not hold during recovery.
Keep the watchdog armed while vf->in_reset_recovery is set, and enable
it on VIRTCHNL_EVENT_RESET_IMPENDING, so it stays armed from the PF
reset notification until recovery completes.
