i40evf: refactor reset
A recent change to the shutdown flow messed up the reset flow. Since i40evf_down now holds the critical section lock, we cannot call it from the reset handler, which also holds the lock. To do so causes a deadlock accompanied by wailing and gnashing of teeth. This is easily triggered by running an ethtool self-test on the PF device. Instead, we move the relevant portions of i40evf_down into the reset handler and bend them to our will. Additionally, we can optimize the reinit path by not deleting the MAC and VLAN filters and then adding them back again. Instead, we just set the 'add' flag and let the watchdog resynchronize the filter list with the PF driver. We also reword a few messages to make them more consistent with the rest of the driver.
