i40e: use separate state bit for miscellaneous IRQ setup



We currently (mis)use the __I40E_RECOVERY_PENDING bit to determine when
we should actually request a new IRQ in i40e_setup_misc_vector().

This led to a design mistake where we open-coded the re-setup of the
miscellaneous vector in i40e_resume() instead of using the function
provided. If we did not open-code this and instead tried to use the
i40e_setup_misc_vector() function, it would lead to never reallocating
the IRQ.

This would lead to a second i40e_suspend() call failing to free the
vector due to a NULL pointer dereference.

A future patch is going to re-work how the i40e_suspend() and
i40e_resume() flows work to clear all IRQ vectors, which would require
us to use i40e_setup_misc_vector() directly. Since during this time the
__I40E_RECOVERY_PENDING bit is set, we'll never re-allocate the vector.

Rather than leaving the open-coded setup in i40e_resume() lets just fix
the problem properly in i40e_setup_misc_vector().

Introduce a new state bit which indicates when the IRQ has been
assigned, which will be set when i40e_setup_misc_vector is first called.
This ultimately resolves the issue of re-requesting the vector, without
overloading the __I40E_RECOVERY_PENDING state. This ensures that the
suspend/resume cycle can use the setup function instead of open-coding
the re-request during resume.

Additionally, since the only callers of i40e_stop_misc_vector also want
to free it, move this code directly into the function to avoid
duplication. Due to the new functionality, rename it to
i40e_free_misc_vector().

This lets us drop the extra calls to free and re-enable the vector
during i40e_suspend() and i40e_resume(). We don't need to call
i40e_setup_misc_Vector() in i40e_resume() because it gets called by the
i40e_rebuild() call.
