[PATCH] net/iavf: fix duplicate VF reset during PF reset recovery

During PF initiated reset recovery, iavf_dev_close() sending
an extra VIRTCHNL_OP_RESET_VF while recovery is already in progress.
That second reset can leave PF/VF virtchnl state inconsistent and
cause VIRTCHNL_OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES to fail with ERR_PARAM after
ToR link flap, leaving the VF unable to recover.
This results in connection loss.
Skipped close-time VF reset and related close-time virtchnl
operations when PF triggered reset recovery is set. This is
done to avoid a duplicate VF reset, and keep normal behavior
for application-driven close.
Handled link-change events through a common static function that
reads the correct advanced & legacy link fields properly and
updates no-poll/watchdog/LSC state consistently.
Also added IAVF_ERR_ADMIN_QUEUE_NO_WORK in virtchnl message
drain as a normal empty-queue condition and avoid logging it as
an misleading AQ failure.
Fixes: 675a104e2e94 ("net/iavf: fix abnormal disable HW interrupt")
Fixes: b34fe66ea893 ("net/iavf: delay VF reset command")
Fixes: 5e03e316c753 ("net/iavf: handle virtchnl event message without interrupt")
Fixes: 5c8ca9f13c78 ("net/iavf: fix no polling mode switching")
Fixes: 48de41ca11f0 ("net/avf: enable link status update")
Fixes: 02d212ca3125 ("net/iavf: rename remaining avf strings")
