Similar to the i40e fix, ice_set_vf_trust() unconditionally calls ice_reset_vf() when the trust setting changes. While the delay is smaller than i40e, this reset is still unnecessary in most cases. When granting trust, no reset is needed - we can just set the capability flag to allow privileged operations. When revoking trust, we only need to reset (conservative approach) if the VF has actually configured advanced features that require cleanup (MAC LLDP filters, promiscuous mode). For VFs in a clean state, we can safely change the trust setting without the disruptive reset. When we do reset, we maintain the original ice pattern that has been reliable in production: cleanup LLDP filters first, then set vf->trusted, then reset. This ensures the privilege capability bit is handled correctly during reset rebuild. When we don't reset, we manually handle the capability flag via helper function, eliminating the delay.
