nfp: avoid buffer leak when FW communication fails
After device is stopped we reset the rings by moving all free buffers
to positions [0, cnt - 2], and clear the position cnt - 1 in the ring.
We then proceed to clear the read/write pointers. This means that if
we try to reset the ring again the code will assume that the next to
fill buffer is at position 0 and swap it with cnt - 1. Since we
previously cleared position cnt - 1 it will lead to leaking the first
buffer and leaving ring in a bad state.
This scenario can only happen if FW communication fails, in which case
the ring will never be used again, so the fact it's in a bad state will
not be noticed. Buffer leak is the only problem. Don't try to move
buffers in the ring if the read/write pointers indicate the ring was
never used or have already been reset.
nfp_net_clear_config_and_disable() is now fully idempotent.
Found by code inspection, FW communication failures are very rare,
and reconfiguring a live device is not common either, so it's unlikely
anyone has ever noticed the leak.
