ixgbe: Fix race when the VF driver does a reset

[ Upstream commit 96d1a731611f711f0cb82cea93363ae2ea8cb028 ]

When the VF driver does a reset, it (at least the Linux one) writes to
the VFCTRL register to issue a reset and then immediately sends a reset
message using the mailbox API. This is racy because when the PF driver
detects that the VFCTRL register reset pin has been asserted, it clears
the mailbox memory. Depending on ordering, the reset message sent by
the VF could be cleared by the PF driver. It then responds to the
cleared message with a NACK which causes the VF driver to malfunction.
Fix this by deferring clearing the mailbox memory until the reset
message is received.
