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.
