igbv: Accept reset NACKs when no MAC is assigned
A reset NACK from a Linux PF means that the reset completed but no
permanent MAC address was assigned. Treat that response as a
successful reset with a zero permanent address so attach can generate
a local address instead of retrying a live mailbox.
FreeBSD PFs also use a one-dword reset NACK while retained queues are
being sanitized. Seed the otherwise unused request payload and accept
only the three-dword, zero-filled NACK used by Linux, preserving the
FreeBSD retry contract.
